From Amputee to Soccer Star!

This is Herve Celestin, one of the patients at BRAC's Limb and Brace Center in Haiti. Herve lost his home, two friends, and both his legs during last year's earthquake. He now lives in a tent with his parents in one of the camps in Port-au-Prince. Herve is an independent 17-year-old who was ready to work and help his family put their lives back together, but without legs, he was dependent on others to get around. He came to BRAC's Center with the help of two UN soldiers, and we made him two prosthetic legs. We have a few more final touches - so the artificial legs will look more like his own - but he's already making good use of them!
