Seven Bucks
What’s the cost of a smile? In this case, seven bucks. In a previous update, I wrote about Nsenga.
Remember Nsenga (on the right), the kid with a terrific smile…
… but who had to lay his head on his notebook to see anything that’s written?
I wrote about wondering how to help Nsenga being that there’s no ophthalmologists or optometrists within days and days of travel via foot.
The only solution I could come up with was to bring him a magnifying glass—seven bucks. This is Nsenga’s teacher Jackson showing him how to use it.
Until we’re able to figure out how to get a vision team up to Minembwe, Nsenga will have to make do with the magnifying glass. FYI—last year, even without a magnifying glass, Nsenga’s marks were high enough to move on up to the next grade level. Nsenga is a can-do kind of a guy.
