Funded by the ACAC church family, 16 women underwent eye-saving cataract surgery. Major regional causes of the development of cataracts are:
1) Poor nutrition
2) Air pollution
3) Staring at the sun, worshipping the creation as a god.
A donation of $15 affords one person light. This cost includes transportation for patient and companion from villages to Good Shepherd Mission Hospital, meals for the overnight stay, surgery, sun glasses, eye drops and follow-up visits.

Night is coming, when no one can work. 5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." John 9:1-5
