Bintia is one of the most recent acid burn victim at the ASF center. We met her during our visit in July. Some village boys had attacked nearly a month ago. The moment she realized it was acid they had used, she jumped into a nearby pond. This stopped further damage and will hopefully accelerate the healing process. However, half of her face and most of her scalp was already burned at that point, with her braid burned to her face. She was brought to the Acid survivors foundation center, 5 days after the incident and her treatment has been going on ever since. Her last surgery was successfully done around mid-July and she has been recovering quite well at the ASF Hospital.
