Doctors are supposed to help and cure those in need, but not trick people into danger for their own benefit!
This six-year-old albino boy from #Tanzania who had his hand chopped off by his own father is going to school for the first time - and he wants to become a doctor.
Baraka Cosmas Rusambo was part of a group of five Tanzanians brought to the US for treatment, thanks to charity organizations. He is one of the hundreds of Tanzanians born each year with albinism, a condition where the individual has little or no melanin pigment present in the body.
But those born in Tanzania live in constant fear of attack and kidnapping, as their body parts are sought after by witch doctors as 'cures', commanding high prices. As a result, scores of albinos are murdered every year in Tanzania, while others are used as 'living donors.'
