Molly Atim arrived at the Eye Screening Camp in the village of Amolatar in Northern Uganda after hearing about it on the radio and a friend recommended she attend the camp.
Unable to read or write due to compromised vision since 2013, Molly couldn't tear her eyes away from the laminated paper patients receive to test their prescriptions during eye exams.
After Molly was fitted for glasses, she had an unwavering smile across her face and told Seva staff, "I am very grateful. I am very happy now. I can now see, I can now read."
