Esperanza's dream is to one day have an artificial leg. In Angola, many women and children have lost legs because they stepped on a mine. A mine is a type of weapon used in wars. If it explodes it will seriously hurt or kill a person. In Angola, it is believed that nearly 200 people a week lose legs and arms because of mines.
Men can often get new arms and legs through the army.
This program by the church helps women and children get artificial limbs. Some people from Jaipur, India, have come to Angola to help the people there learn how to build limbs for the children like Esperanza who need them. Let us pray for Esperanza and other children like her. Let us pray for the church so they will be able to help everyone who is hurting because of mines.
