After one year in orphanage care, Pika shows both her capacity for personal change, and the attention paid to her needs.Pika is learning the joy of walking with her new prosthetic leg. As with all new prosthesis users, she is having to adapt as her stump is adapting to the use, and she's had a few big falls. She will require multiple re-fittings, and new legs as time goes on.
With the help of Bali for Kids Magazine several dedicated Bali expats and a donation from Kerry Smith (Australia) , Pika recently started violin lessons, continues to attend school, is learning to swim, and is learning a skill she loves; using a sewing machine.
Pika's care will continue to require extra funding for medical visits and supplies, and prosthetics. Pika has found her way out of begging and sleeping by the dump. Please consider helping this young teen have the opportunity of a successful life. Go to www.ykpa.org and see how you can help.
