The day after Ahmad was born, a landmine exploded just 50 metres away from him. He had only been in this world for 36 hours. No one can imagine the terror he went through. His tiny skull, still soft, couldn’t bear the sound of the explosion – and it fractured.

The effects of the exploding landmine weren’t immediately visible. Six months later, his mother was worried that something was wrong with him, so she took him to a doctor. Ahmad was diagnosed with a Linear Skull Fracture. His head started to grow larger and the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid on his eyes made him temporarily blind.
