At the Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontires (MSF) Case Management Center in Foya, Liberi, roughly two in every three people are killed by the Ebola virus. Many who have the disease are too sick to sit down, let alone stand or walk around. But one young boy defied his Ebola odds by dancing.

In the video seen below, an 11-year-old boy with Ebola named Mamadee dances and shows off his best moves. The music Mamadee dances to is known as Azonto, a type of music that originated out of Ghana. Watching Mamadee groove and jive is inspiriting, and is topped off with a message in the video saying that he was finally discharged from the hospital.
