"When I stood, I felt like i could touch the sky", says Najmuddin, double amputee. He lived a sedentary life for five years before coming to Cairo's clinic. They call the Italian-born physician the Angel of Kabul. He arrived twenty years ago and was so struck by the depravity that he's stayed ever since, piecing Afghanistan's war-torn back together again with prosthetic limbs. "I've seen people standing up for the first time crying. It's a very dramatic moment". Among the broken is nine-year-old Khania, whose leg was blown off by a landmine. "There was blood everywhere. My nephew died instantly...My son was almost dead" - Khania's grief-stricken father has brought him thousands of miles, from Helmand, to throw themselves at the mercy of the clinic. Those treating the boy are visibly moved; most are remembering the moment they themselves walked again. When Farzana received her prosthesis she took a job in the clinic's laundry. She pressed Dr. Cairo for an education, and is now one of his brightest employees. For many like her, the clinic provided a future against all the odds, literally helping Afghans back on their feet.
