One of the evenings I was in Mwika I had dinner with a single mother and her two sons. One of her sons was very shy but wanted to learn about me and where I lived and all about the USA. As I spoke to his mother her name Soshe, she explained that her son who was 14 had been through 8 eye surgeries in his lifetime ~ all of which had not been successful.
She handed me his broken eyeglasses, and said these were all that her son had to even see just a little in school. As I held them in my hand, I noticed the arms of the glasses were held together with barbed wire and the lenses had triple bi-foculs. I knew by looking at them, there was no hope. God placed a call within my heart. I brought them back and met a kind eye surgeon who built this young man a new sturdy pair of glasses!! I sent them and "Gift" now has the glasses he needed to see. I have received correspondence from his Mother who has told me that her son is doing very well in school again and is enjoying being able to see!!
I will end with one of my favorite quotes: "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" author unknown.
