Alberto Cairo heads the orthopaedic program for the International Committee of the Red Cross/Crescent Society in Afghanistan. He has lived there for 21 years.
Over the years, he and his teams have enabled more than 100,000 Afghan landmine victims to go on with their life, to become agents for change.
In a country where the disabled are generally given pity but no rights, Cairo found a way -- through micro-loans, local employment solutions and home schooling -- to give tens of thousands of disabled Afghans a job and a sense of dignity and pride.
Listen and you will be rewarded.
