Soun is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has three sons, three daughters, and eleven grandchildren. She enjoys reading the Bible and listening to monks on the radio.
Two years ago, Soun developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurred vision, tearing, irritation, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Soun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one a half hours seeking treatment. On February 6, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
Her daughter says, “I hope my mother can see everything clearly now so she can go anywhere on her own.”

She says, “I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly again so I want to continue my work at the farm again by myself.”
