Emmanuel is an albino. He has a wonderful and loving family. He also has a disorder that can turn even the best of lives on their head.Physical attacks on people with albinism, especially women and children, are still a big problem in many African countries.
People sick with superstitious beliefs lured Emmanuel into the forest and cut off his index finger, believing it had magical powers. The 12-year-old miraculously escaped with his life. The family enlisted the help of Kasisi. Emmanuel is still very frightened and down. He is ashamed of his mutilated hand, hiding it under his jumper.
