The civil war in Sierra Leone not only killed more than 50,000 people, it also led to thousands of innocent civilians having legs, arms or hands forcibly amputated by rebel soldiers. Or removed by landmines and bullets.
The Flying Star Amputees are a group of football teams across Sierra Leone born out of the adversity of this war.
Playing together with the other amputees make some feel mentally and physically stronger. And talking with each other & finding like mindedness in their experiences & stories is a way to get over the emotional pain of the experience.
70% of all proceeds from this collection will go directly to the Flying Stars to buy new crutches, prosthetics, football equipmen...
