Ebola has reached Mali, but our children are doing well and we have implemented special steps to keep them from being contaminated. With this report, we are closing this project. As you already know, Fatoumata was deemed too young to go through the cataract surgery at this time and is following yearly assessments and evaluation to determine when she is ready for the surgery. In October Necker’s hospital refunded the prepaid fees for Fatoumata’s surgery. For the remainder of the funds, we are offering to all our donors the following options : (1) return funds to them by proportion of donation to remaining funds; (2) the latitude to use the remaining funds to support Fatoumata’s future project only; (3) the latitude to use the remaining funds to support other ACFA health care projects; or (4) the latitude to use the remaining funds to support any ACFA project. Please let us know how you would want us to proceed: kadiatou@acfacorp.org. For donors who we don’t hear from we will use option (4). We are hoping to have Fatoumata’s next assessment completed before the end of the year with a visit to Bamako of philanthropic optometrists. At that time we will be informed of her needs for this year.
