Momen, this brave and determined soul was 9 years old when she was diagnosed with leprosy. His tenacity and tenacity shine through even through his family's financial difficulties and his own health struggles.
Momen has experienced much suffering and discrimination. His fingers were crooked, his feet dangled senselessly, and both play and school remained an unattainable dream for him. But Momen turned to reading and books in the midst of this struggle, and was determined to try to lead a normal life.
Despite the stigma of society and the resigned attitude of his own family, Momen's spirit remained unbroken and he was even able to continue his studies and now supports his parents. Throughout the years, his unwavering goal has been hard work and the desire for a normal life.
Momen is a living example of persistent hope!
