The Joy of Sight, the Joy of Life
Respected Supporters and Well Wishers
Heartiest Greetings from NBJK!!
“The Joy of Sight, the Joy of Life” this title is really true without sight we cannot see this beautiful world. Even we are not able to do anything independently. So the healthy eyesight is very important to joy this life. In our community, society or country we see blindness due to cataract which is not good at all. People are getting blind due to poverty and lack of awareness. It is our duty to eradicate blindness due to cataract and bring as many people as possible from blindness to useful productive lives. We are very obliged to share this report with all of you who bring these people from darkness to light.

Ten years ago she lost her husband in an accident. Anyhow she was living her life. After the death of her husband, all sons except her younger son began to live separately and denied to keep her in their houses.Now she lives with her younger son. He takes care of her. He works as a mechanic in a bike repairing shop and he is very poor.
Munarwa’s vision started to deteriorate and she was leading a miserable life for the past 2 years. Her daughter was recommended by well-wishers to get her to outreach camps being held by NBJK. In the camp, she was diagnosed with cataracts in the left eye. NBJK staff assured her for free surgery with the help of GlobalGiving and gave her date for the surgery. She went to the LNJP eye hospitals with her son and underwent the surgery. Now her vision is good. She takes care of grandchildren and domestic animals.
