Hunted, attacked - now healing in Phila.

In Tanzania, superstition dictates that people with albinism are both despised as damaged demons and prized for mystical powers. Deemed to be ghosts because of their lack of pigmentation, albino children are hunted by shamans, who use their body parts in witchcraft and potions. Their mutilation is thought to bring good luck to the attackers and others who visit witch doctors.
