she was born with Spina bifida and club foot.
Shortly after two weeks her head increased
the size abnormally. Her mother was chest

cursed and she returned to her poor parent’s
family deep in the village. On identification
Jane was a smiling four years old Child.
However she already had contractures,
pressure sores all over the body, Urinary tract
infections, and smelling urine. She was always
left at home alone and could not interact with
peers thus excluded from the main stream of
development.
