India Zone A special thank you; Joytown School Kenya East Zone "Meet our kids from Joytown Primary & Secondary School. We are focussing on a child named Janet. Janet is a bright cheerful girl who enjoys therapy. She has a condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita which simply means her joints are stiff and her feet are deformed, forming what is often known as club feet. She had orthopedic surgery on May 17, 2012 on both her feet. She had to struggle with plaster on both feet for 2 months after which time she was fitted with assistive braces. The surgery successfully corrected her club feet but she will need further surgery to correct her right foot. Thank you for your sponsorship donations to Joytown Primary & Secondary School.
