In November, we were blessed with the visit to Bamako of a team of volunteer doctors from the Utah Valley Eye Center who provided free eye care services to those in need. Fatoumata was examined by 3 doctors: Dr. Matthew Parsons, Dr. Frank Edmunds and Dr. Paul Olson. All three have concluded that at her age, and with her current vision of 20/400 with the myopic correction, Fatoumata will need a cataract surgery in the future. The doctors have promised to provide annual consultations to Fatoumata during their visit in Bamako before she is ready for the operations. The year was ended with a visit to Bamako by one of our board of directors, Alpha, who spent Christmas and New Year with the children in Bamako. Please donate today. We have raised 58% of the funds needed to fully fund Fatoumata’s operations costs. Our work is only possible because of your generosity. Fatoumata is in danger of losing her sight. Thank you for supporting our efforts towards achieving our mission of helping her keep her eye sight.
