Clubfoot Club
Rashidi's Story

Rashidi is nine years old.  Clubfoot has turned his feet inwards, making it difficult to walk, to run, to play...

Thankfully, all of that is changing.

Rashidi is receiving an operation and treatment.  The metal cage over his leg (The Ilizarov external fixator) will be tightened, further turning his foot outward and the sole downward.  He says it doesn't hurt him.

For now, Rashidi wheels after his friends, Shilini and Sergio.  Soon he will be able to walk and even run... you can see the anticipation in his eyes

"I look forward to playing football," he says.
