What is CUREkids and who is Sinoya?
You
Sinoya lives in Malawi and has untreated burns, and in Malawi the sort of specialty medical care Sinoya needs is scarce. There are 100 million children in the world just like Sinoya who have little hope for the future.
Many can't play with their friends or go to school, and when Sinoya grows up, things that we hope for like marriage or finding a job will be difficult or impossible...all because Sinoya has a curable disability! But you can change Sinoya's life forever.

About Sinoya
At nine years old, he is back to crawling on his hands and knees like a toddler. It’s either that or he is forced to hop around on one leg to get from place to place. Sinoya Maliko had an accident earlier this year, which caused him to burn his leg at the knee joint, and now it will not bend or extend enough for him to use it.
On June 3, 2011, Sinoya was standing near a fire, warming himself, when he lost his balance and fell into the fire. The inside of his left leg was burned, and as it went untreated, the scar tissue tightened his leg to a ninety-degree angle. He still goes to school, despite the difficulty he most likely faces in getting himself to and from the schoolhouse. He does well in the third grade and he works very hard. Sinoya has his priorities straight even if it causes him pain and struggles, as he realizes how important his future is, despite his current condition.
It’s a good thing he does have his eyes on the future, because his leg is about to change. Soon his leg will be straight and after a while he will regain his range of motion. Before long he will be running around with the rest of his friends, playing. I just hope he stays a safe distance away from fires!

JSON RSS- Day 127 Sinoya's follow up appointment has been scheduled for 06/25/2012 - Sinoya has gone home to Lilongwe. He will be in his cast for 4 weeks, so by the time he is seen by our doctors again in June, he will be out of the cast and we'll be able to get some great pictures of his newly healed leg!
