Georgie Orme established a childcare centre in Kenya for the rehabilitation for children with mobility problems. Most of her original patients had suffered from polio and, left to their own devices, hauled themselves along the ground, seal-like - dragging their useless lower limbs behind them. Seeking out anyone who would teach them anything, Georgie and her team of local women stretched affected tendons through many hundreds of hours of pain-staking and painful physiotherapy until children's limbs were straight enough to be strapped into very basic home-produced splints. Many children were encouraged to do the apparently impossible - they learned to walk. Children who were born without feet, or had traumatically lost their feet, were fitted with Kajiado-produced limbs and enabled to walk for the first time. The work had extended way beyond the originally need Child Care Centre. A story of how God used a very ordinary Scottish Missionary to do Extraordinary things.
