Children with Albinism mutilated in Tanzania get new limbs in U.S.
Victims of a ghastly tradition that persists in isolated rural areas of Tanzania, four albino children recently returned to the U.S. to be fitted for new prosthetics. Each had a limb amputated by human hunters with machetes who believe that children with albinism - born without pigment - are ghosts who bring good luck if their body parts are ritually sacrificed.
