A teen girl from Ecuador is again able to write her name for the
first time in three years, thanks to the work of high school students
from Cleveland and a nonprofit that delivers medical care overseas.
Samantha Chango, 13, had her left arm amputated as the result of a
bus accident. Nerve damage in her right arm left her unable to move
that arm, wiggle her fingers or open and close her hand.
Then a bit of serendipity brought together a Cleveland-based high
school robotics team and a nonprofit that provides medical care
around the world. Together, they attempted to design, build and
deliver a prosthetic arm.
