Younes Esmail lives in southwestern Yemen. The teenager hasn\u2019t let a terrible landmine accident get in the way of his education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The explosion led to the amputation of my lower limbs, and my left hand; it completely damaged my left eye, and caused the death of my uncle, who was sitting next to me,” Younes told Project Masam outside his home in Taiz City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Younes’ life was turned upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was studying in our village since I was a small child, and I used to go to school daily and come back on my own until I had to move to the city and left school.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Younes is focused on doing well to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My injury did not affect me much, although it took a lot of my body. Despite the challenges, I overcame them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his home, the teenager proudly shows us his computer set up, and his books. He may not be going to school anymore but he is determined to continue to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My message for Project Masam is that I would urge them to continue clearing landmines, because this makes people’s lives much easier and helps the community move forward”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
