[New Times] David was born in the Eastern Province, near the border of Rwanda and Tanzania, sometime between 1980 and 1990. He was born with albinism at a time when many myths about people with this condition were circulating. Albinism is an inherited skin condition that causes people to have little or no melanin in their skin, hair, and eyes. This condition is associated with various life-long physical impairments due to its effect on the skin and vision.
