At the ongoing Day of General Discussion: Solutions to Challenges Faced by Children with Albinism, BONFACE O MASSAH states ~ “It is important to engage the public and raise awareness of the situation of people with albinism.

Close your eyes: try to imagine you are a child with albinism.

Then, imagine people surrounding you, some are pointing fingers at you, calling you degrading names, some are laughing at you, some are pinching you, others are running away in fear.

Then, open your eyes.
