Meet Tamba John

My name is Tamba John, age 20 years.  I was born in Kpandonin, Foya District, Lofa County, Liberia.

I was told by my father that when I was at the age of one year, there was an old man in our village by the name of Fayiah, this old man was suspected to have had a “dragon.”  One day, I was left with my grandmother in the town.  While moving about, the sun was hot, and there it is believed, that the old man made “sacrifice” with me while my parents were away.

When my parents returned later, they met my body warm; and then took me to the hospital but there was no way.  And so I became a crippled child.
