Special Interests
Ntondo Dono from Masenjere near our Muona centre had to drop out of school because he could not see the blackboard even from a front seat. When Richard was in Malawi he told Eleanor back in Scotland about it and she contacted Vision Aid Oversea asking for information. They were very helpful and supplied the name of the hospital and the people to contact about Ntondo, with the result that Ntondo and a carer travelled to Blantyre Malawi on the normal transport (a lorry) ,he was met by Richard and taken to The Lions Sight Hospital where his eyesight was checked. Fortunately he did not need any operations but he had very bad shortsightedness in both eyes. He was given glasses and he is now looking at his surroundings in a way that he has never seen before. The total cost of this transformation which included glasses, transport and food was £34, not a lot to change a persons life.
