Hassan Fofona begs for money
Hassan Fofona begs for money outside the central post office in Freetown. Hassan, 16, crippled by polio since he was 10 was caught by the rebels who hacked of his good arm on a tree stump. From a very poor family, he cannot work and so must beg. Freetown, Sierra Leone 1999
