  • Mark before surgery, and three months after.

    Severe knock knees(01)

    Mark can walk, run and go back to school

    Mark's legs began to bend inward when he took his first steps, until he could no longer walk. His grandmother brought him to CoRSU, where a subsidy supported by CBM International covered his surgery in full.

    “He can happily go to school and do simple household tasks without support.”
