Saidi’s mother lovingly cuddles her son and thanks the doctor very much for his fantastic work. He can see his mom for the first time! The doctor assures us that the operation went well and that the boy will grow up with a good sight. Saidi blinks in surprise and then puts the biggest smile on his face. Everyone anxiously awaits when nurse Elizabeth gently removes both eye bandages. After an hour and a half, ophthalmologist Mussu has replaced the cloudy eye lenses with artificial lenses.
Saidi looks incredibly small and fragile on the large operating table. The operation is performed under complete anesthesia. They spend the night in the infirmary and the next morning a nurse takes Saidi to the operating room. She tells: “I am a little worried, but CCBRT is known to be an excellent hospital that successfully performs many operations.
Nervously, the mother gets out with her child, who is wearing his best clothes for the occasion. Little Saidi and his mom are taken to the hospital by jeep. Children under the age of five always receive free treatment. The hospital has become a medical reference point throughout East Africa. ”ĬCBRT is one of the first projects that Light for the World has ever supported. She told me I could go to CCBRT, the hospital for people with disabilities. The nurse diagnosed cataracts and said surgery was needed.
That’s why I took him to the local dispensary. His mom explains: “I noticed the white spots in Saidi’s eyes two weeks ago. Saidi has inborn cataract in both eyes and is completely blind. The little boy listens carefully because he cannot see. His mother manages to comfort him easily, after which he immediately starts to laugh and no longer cares about our visit. When we visit them, Saidi listens very carefully to the strange noises around him. They live in a simple house with three other families. Little Saidi lives with his parents in one of the poorest suburbs of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
