CAMBODIAN GIRL WITH CATARACT REMOVED

Success !

Yes.

Now able to get back into Cambodia without Covid restrictions.

With US donated medical and surgical supplies , THE BLINDNESS FOUNDATION was able to assist in over 200 cataracts and Eye Doctor training at two major hospitals in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital city.-photos enclosed.

In addition to helping the poor urban and rural adults who are unable to afford lens implants necessary for modern cataract surgery , we alos were able to help some children with congenital cataracts regain sight.

The Cambodian University of Health Sciences Ophthalmology Resident program has also requested help from THE BLINDNESS FOUNDATION for US supplied educational materials to develop their Residency program and this is now underway(photos enclosed).

Your kind and generous donations help support this work and help ship supplies into Cambodia

Bless you all.

Thank you,
