Born with bow legs and inverted feet, Sahr's future was bleak. Despite nay-sayers who predicted his gait would never be normal, he forged his way through to the Mercy Ship registration and waiting list. Sahr travelled all the way from Kono District believing he would receive his healing. Today, this young man alias "His Excellency" has both legs and feet straightened and is being schooled at an orphange in Lunsar!
