Meet John Amanam, the Nigerian artist/engineer building super-realistic prostheses for Africans in Africa. I really liked his work: this is a self-thought man who used to work in the Nollywood industry, with no real training in prostheses, but a love of sculpture and most importantly of his fellow human being. After noticing family members who had lost limbs, he set out to make realistic-looking and affordable limbs with ebony, or mahogany shades, the shades of his fellow brothers and sisters. In essence, he is giving back confidence to those who have lost limbs. Enjoy!
That is phenomenal! I’m glad there’s still good news going on in this day and age.

Of course! I’ve been bombarded with so much negative news regardless if it’s about the Rona or not. Seeing stories like this is a godsend.

Thanks, Dr. Y. The recent events certainly don’t help, but it’s a miracle to see any kind of hopeful story.
