This is Mona just seven years old
We met Mona at our outreach eye care at the Deaf Center in
Khartoum North in June. She is just seven years old and has just
started her educational life. She was born deaf and had an eye
problem. Her squint can hinder and slow her ability to learn, if
it is not treated. Our doctor said that having ear problems can
very likely lead to eye problems also. The doctor transferred
Mona to her clinic for an operation to her eyes. Our support to
Mona will help her to depend on herself and continue her
studies. Helping people to smile and to have a better future is
the most rewarding job.
Mohammad, six years old, was born with Cataracts and
Glaucoma problems in both eyes. His sister Maha, three years
old, was also born with the same problems. The reason behind
it is cousins’ marriages. These are common in Sudan where a
lot of people, especially in neglected areas, suffer from
lack of awareness about this issue. The doctor transferred
Mohammad to the hospital where he had a cataract operation.
Then she prescribed eye drops for him to use until the time
of the second surgery. Also, his sister is using eye drops
as the doctor recommended until the time of her surgeries.
These operations are very important because cataracts can
lead to blindness if it is not treated.
Mohammed has cataracts and Glaucoma problems
Maha has the same problems to overcome
By helping children like Maha and Mohammad we give them
opportunities and hope for a better future where they can go
to school, learn and achieve their dreams.
Your support for our work is always needed and always
greatly appreciated.
