Attacked by a hyena: My advice for a fellow victim
Nine-year-old Zimbabwean boy Rodwell Nkomazana lost an eye, his nose, and his upper lip when he was mauled by a hyena.
He is now in South Africa receiving extensive facial surgery from a team of volunteer doctors.
The BBC, who have been following Rodwell for a documentary, accompanied him and his mother for an extraordinary meeting with two other hyena attack survivors.
Watch the full length documentary 'Our World: Building my new face' on the BBC News Channel, BBC World and iplayer.
