The sight of 3-year-old Adam struggling to walk next to his mother was very familiar to those in their small Malawi village. Adam had bowed legs. Instead of being straight like normal, his legs each curved like a banana. Walking any distance caused great pain and fatigue for the little boy.
This greatly saddened his mother. Adam was her only child, and he meant the world to her. She realized what this disability probably meant to her son as he got older unless they could find specialized treatment. He could lose out on opportunities for an education and would endure the scorn of those around him.
Thankfully, the story does not end there.
