But what’s most remarkable is her zest for life. Noor now has her smile back and is gradually recovering from her trauma. Her favorite things to do when she comes to the rehabilitation center are shopping for little cars and eating biscuits!

Anai has a congenital condition that prevents her from walking. Her school is 2 miles away. Before, the only way for her to get there was if her father carried her... so she missed a lot of lessons. But since she has had her wheelchair, Anai can finally go to school every day, to her great delight: "I like going to school because I like learning and I make lots of friends!"
