adivinha quem voltou

Sebastião está de volta. Salgado mostra-nos a poliomelite! O livro agora editado pela Caminho, que ainda não vi fisicamente, serve de meio para alertar para a existência da campanha mundial para o fim da poliomelite em 2005.

Mohamed Aden Ali, 11, has been paralysed by polio. Abandoned by his parents, he moves by crawling on two worn kneepads strapped to his thin legs and uses rubber sandals to protect his hands. He is in the stadium in Baidoa, filled with spectators. They came to watch a football match between the teams 'Polio 2000' and 'Polio 2001'. In a place that was a famine epicentre in the 1990s, the match is one of a variety of activities used by immunizers to gain support for the eradication campaign. 'Polio 2001' won the match by one goal.
