Crawling up Kilimanjaro with no legs #video#Tanzania When Aleksandr was born with no legs and deformed fingers, his mother abandoned him. He grew up in an orphanage for kids with disabilities in a remote Russian town. However, Aleksandr has always aimed high and dreamed big. Aleksandr got lucky and was selected to take part in a US humanitarian project. At the age of 15, he walked on his new prostheses for the first time in his life. His temporary foster parents couldn’t let him go and adopted Aleksandr. To inspire kids with disabilities, Aleksandr and his friends from the orphanage took on the challenge to climb Africa’s highest mountain Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895 metres. RT Documentary witnessed their incredible feat and made a film - https://youtu.be/v2Sz3k9gKp8 For now, Aleksandr lives and studies in Boston, USA, and has climbed Kilimanjaro for a second time!
