Albinism is a non-contagious, genetically inherited ailment that results in the lack of melanin in the skin, eyes, and hair. Due to this, people with albinism are prone to many issues both social and biological. International Albinism Awareness Day is observed annually on June 13, representing the importance and celebration of the human rights of people with albinism. This year's theme for the commemoration is 'History and Significance' and for more Daily Roundup's Nina Katangana spoke to Peter Stormer the founder of SINASRA (Support in Namibia for Albinism Sufferers Requiring Assistance). #NBCNews #nbcDSTV282 #nbcdigitalnews
