Beyond Belief

Peru

Today is the "International Day of People with Disabilities". Therefore, we want to report on an extraordinary birthday:

A few weeks ago, Grace celebrated her 17th birthday at the Transformation House in Lima, Peru. According to doctors, she should have only lived to a maximum of three years. She was born prematurely with twisted limbs and blindness in one eye. But her life expectancy is not the only expectation she has far exceeded.

Meanwhile, she is mastering more and more little things in everyday life, like cleaning up objects. And she even understands two languages. In addition to Spanish, she also understands some German, since she has received a lot of one-on-one assistance from German team members at the Transformation House.
