Ry is a 78-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. When she has free time at home, she enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
One year ago, Ry developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Ry learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours ago seeking treatment.
