Name: Davlatali  Saidov                      Age:17                                                       From: Vanj District                                    Date of Accident: 28.05.2003

I was 10 years old.  One day I went to graze our herd together with my little brother and my brother in law who saw something in the grass and started touching it to see what it was.  I was sitting very close to him.  Suddenly there was an explosion.  I don’t know what happened after.  I woke up at the hospital later but I couldn’t see.  I never saw anything again.   I was told my brother in law lost his life and my younger brother was injured as the result of the explosion and I lost my eyes. 

I can’t continue with my studies because I can’t see.  I really don’t know how I can earn money in the future.  Pension for disabilities such as mine is very small and not enough for a living. 

Future is full of uncertainty and darkness for me.
