Nothing will stop a 6-year-old girl with cerebral palsy from going to school, not even her defective arms that cannot write.
Beryl Kordai Addy's hope is in her toes as she powers the tiny-looking parts to draw and write.
Joy News' Beryl Ernestina Richter found her in class in a mainstream school at La where she has lessons with all the other pupils.
Her mother Sussana Patterson remains a towering figure and support and the effectiveness of her love is helping Beryl overcome the defectiveness in her arms and muscles.
