In Liberia the was a civil war in 1989. Little kids had to fight with machine guns and machetes. More then 500 refugees tried to hide from the military, they hid in a Lutheran church. The military came and killed all of them.
There were mostly women and children. There were grenades thrown, and people's arms and legs had to be amputated. The women and men who had to have their limbs amputated were treated as outsiders in the public.
Nobody respected them. So a group of amputees gathered and made a soccer team. One of the survivor from the Lutheran church massacre became the coach. There were 6 teams that were made. And they played games against other teams. They became role models for the disabled and amputees.
