Thank you Arnajan family from Arequipa, they came spontaneously to our hospital and donate a fantastic amount for armprotheses Roxi and Roger!
Last Saturday we ordered the arm prostheses for both Roxi like Roger. Within three weeks they are delivered. Meanwhile both need to practice a lot to strengthen their muscles. Then they will be guides to learn how to deal with it. But both are super motivated, so is quite good.El sábado pasado pedimos las prótesis de brazo para ambos Roxi como Roger. A las tres semanas de su entrega. Mientras tanto ambos tienen que practicar mucho para fortalecer sus músculos. Entonces serán guías para aprender a lidiar con ella. Pero ambos son súper motivada, por lo que es bastante bueno.Vandaag hebben we de armprothesen voor zowel Roxi als Roger besteld. Binnen drie weken worden ze geleverd. Onderwijl moeten beiden flink oefenen om hun spieren te versterken. Daarna zullen ze begeleidt worden om te leren hoe ermee om te gaan. Maar beiden zijn super gemotiveerd, dus komt helemaal goed.
Since april 2012 we have our own children’s hospital in Arequipa and in this hospital we’re attending for three months at Roger (13 years) and Roxi (11 years).
Both are victims of a terrible accident caused by a cable high voltage electricity in the province of Puno. Roger lost his right arm and a part of his genitals and Roxi lost both forearms, trough the electric burns.
In these three months, they have not only gotten intensive medical care but also psychological therapy so that they can accept their dramatically changed lives.
Now they need armprotheses!
Now they need armprotheses so both can have again an independent life and go back to their families and villages.
These armprotheses cost per piece 1500 euro/1700 dollar and we need to buy three to get these kids back on track.
