Why did you come here?
M.Sharif. I saw the banner in the city informing that the Rahmatal-lil-Alameen Eye Hospital Trust is holding an Eye Camp sponsored by Muslim Aid. So I came here to have my eyes checked. The doctor said that I needed an operation. This Eye Camp has given me a new life and I pray for them for providing this service.
Interviewer
What is your future hope for the Eye Camp?
M. Sharif: I hope that the hospital provides lenses and operations - which people used to have to go to the big city for and spend a lot of money – which they could not afford. REH and Muslim Aid has done an excellent job. The doctor has also performed a good operation. To See this on Video click here
