Victoria and her family live in Orellana Province – an 8-hour bus ride from Quito. She is the middle child, and her younger brother is only 5 months old; still, her mother journeyed to visit the CAMTA clinic yesterday so Victoria's clubfeet could be examined and ultimately corrected. Victoria has been transported in a stroller all of her life due to her condition and told her mother that she is looking forward to walking like other children her age.
