Just a short blog today - over the weekend I saw a remarkable young amputee victim from Sierra Leone on one of the TV news channels. Her name is Mariatu Kamara. Like so many of her generation she suffered terribly at the hands of the rebels during the war. Eventually she went to Canada, was adopted by a family in Toronto and has written a book about her experiences. I went straight out and bought the book - 'Bite of the Mango' - published by Bloomsbury Publishing plc. I plan to read it over the next couple of days.
She has a website if you are interested - www.mariatufoundation.com
