AN EXAMPLE
OF WHAT YOUR DONATIONS ARE HELPING TO STOP The lady's name is Loyas Yata. She is 35 years old and
the mother of nine. She stepped on a mine whilst gathering firewood
about one kilometer from her house. The place of the accident is
a village called Lainya, which is 37 miles from Yei; West on the
road to Juba. It took a day and a half to get her to Yei hospital.
During that time she had no medical treatment, past a bandage and
no pain killers. She is sitting with her youngest daughter.
