History of Leense
Sometimes you have to operate the history of Leense-.
Leense grew up without a family. She worked from small on the House of other people. Due to their poverty, she has never worn shoes and then developed Podo. In their case, the feet are swollen particularly strong.
Leense lives in a remote area. The pastor of her church had heard of the Podoarbeit in Ijaji and narrated by her. According to oral instructions by the pastor, she began treating self, that means daily foot hygiene. For her large feet, there were no shoes in Ijaji.
As the head of the shoe workshop in Ijaji went to a training, he needed people he wanted to make special shoes for that. So Leense came in September 2016 According to Addis Ababa. Her feet were measured for shoes and they were photographed and sent a surgeon for assessment.
After the operation
Two months later, Leense was accompanied by a Community Member, for the trip, the municipality had money ge collects, in the distant AIRA. Her foot was operated on there. The surgery and the hospital stay cost €90. We will report back in a year of her.
Each year are by Podo e.V. Costs for very extreme cases of Podo, need an operation, funded.
WHO of Podokoniose
Hello,
I'm Werner. As orthopaedic shoe technicians I was twice in Jimma, Ethiopia. We have made since prostheses and shoes in the Karl-Heinz Böhm Foundation. I've not met Podokoniose, but many mutilations and amputations.
We had u.a. a patient with extreme Charcot. We could not end provide the woman sadly, is not showing the intermediate fitting. What a pity. Apparently she could not afford the legal supplement.
It was an experience-rich time for me. I hope, the facility is still. I was for years by mail with an Ethiopian employees in contact. Always at Christmas he has wished me good luck, last year no longer.
Like to look at my Web page.
Many greetings
Werner Schröder
