A little goes a long way. . . . December 2017, Aden, Yemen: 10-year-old Aya lost her leg after an armed group threw a bomb at her family’s home. “I always feel enthusiastic when my mom tells me we’re going to the physio session. I’m stronger than I was after the surgery. I go to the mini market by myself and I play in front of the house,” Aya says. ~as one who serves~
