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

About Edu
Edu is the first child that I’ve seen at CURE with a mental handicap. He suffers from the damage caused by cerebral malaria. He isn’t able to talk and communicates much like someone with autism. He suffers from severe bilateral clubfoot making it impossible for him to walk on his own.
CURE hospital gives free treatment to the kids admitted at the hospital in Malawi, but several patients in neighboring countries like Mozambique, take advantage of the free care. Missionaries in Mozambique told Edu’s family about CURE and they couldn’t wait to get here.
Edu is not in school because of his condition. His mother carries him on her back since she has no other method of transport. Edu’s mother realizes that he may never be normal like other children but she wants him to be less dependent on others. She can’t wait until he puts on his first pair of shoes. Please pray for Edu, this process will be really difficult since he lacks the ability to communicate and understand what’s happening to him. Thankfully, I think healing translates no matter the difficulties, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for this little guy.

Friday September 21, 2012

Thursday September 20, 2012- Day 3Edu is being prepped for surgery, I'm sure he is going to be scared being away from his mother.
Thursday September 20, 2012 - Day 1Edu Carlos is here at CURE. He suffers from brain damage received from cerebral malaria but is being treated for clubfoot. Pray for this boy and his mother, this will be difficult for them both.
