Sabra, a school teacher wakes up every day with a twinkle in her eyes ready to tackle head on the million questions her pupils regale her with daily. She uses colorful chalks to channel and focus their attention to the board. To her, focus is everything yet she started losing hers when she was unable to read the board from even a few feet away.
Belonging to a small town where female’s roles were defined to the kitchen she was already challenging the norms. It was when she feared for her sight that her perseverance and courage was put to the test. Determined to keep on pursuing her passion for teaching she set out to find a cure for her eye ailment.
Someone advised her to go to LRBT Karachi. She came with diminished vision but hope shining out brightly from her beautiful eyes. For the first time in her life she was treated as an equal and quality care was given to her with respect and dignity irrespective of her gender. Today she is once again surrounded by her beloved students and tells them how hope and perseverance can overcome any obstacle.
