CGSL GIVES HOPE TO AMPUTATED BOY

Meet 15 year old Emmanuel Kamanda, the school boy whose gruesome accident photos went viral on social media recently.Doctors at the Emergency Hospital where he was rushed said Emmanuel’s right tibia and fibula had been badly damaged in the accident and the limb therefore had to be amputated.

 

Chozen Generation S/L visited Emmanuel at his Patton Street residence to follow up on his recovery process after the amputation.
When we arrived at the small flat where Emmanuel lives with his grandparent, we found him lying in an old couch in a corner of the barely lit parlor. He looked distraught, much like someone who was learning to start life afresh.

Emmanuel is a brave young man. Despite his ordeal, he exudes a great deal of self confidence and hope. He spoke about his love for football, Christiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid; and about how he had played football with his friends the evening before the accident.

He also told us about his dream of completing university and becoming a CEO in a “big bank”.
Chozen Generation Sierra Leone climaxed the occasion by making a small donation of food items and cash to Emmanuel’s family.

Responding, his grandma thanked Chozen Generation for the gifts and requested that the organization provides ongoing mentorship to Emmanuel – a request that we immediately granted.

CGSL wishes Emmanuel a speedy recovery and all the best for the future.
