Sunday 18th February
The foundation visited a village today and were able to view a trichiasis operation and talk to members of the community. We had lunch after, and they said they had found this both fascinating and shocking. Dr Hussein, their medical advisor couldn’t get over the fact that surgery was performed next to a hut. The foundation left early that evening, but not before telling us that they were extremely impressed with everything they had seen.
