She was born with a badly deformed lower right leg. At 7 months, in 2010, she had her first surgery when the Mercy Ship was anchored in the Freetown Harbor. Africa Surgery arranged a second surgery by an O-D-W clubfoot specialist in November 2018, and a third and final surgery in October 2019.
Jariatu Koroma, after the third surgery to correct her deformed right leg and foot, was anxious to attend school again. 
Jaraitu, in her school uniform and wearing her elevated right shoe, is now walking without crutches and is back in school.
By January, 2020, Jariatu’s lower right leg and foot were healed and perfectly straightened and we had her fitted with a custom-made extra-high shoe lift, to equalize the lengths of her legs. After missing a lot of classroom time, Jariatu, now age 10, is attending school again, with help from an Africa Surgery sponsorship.
