The Miracle of Sight

Musangus Story
Today, Musangu has become an ambassador and a source of comfort for other cataract patients in his village. Musangu is one of the over 790 cataract patients who have had their sight restored as a result of Lions Aid Norway supported Eye Health program. He sat down with some LAN staff to tell the story of his life as a blind person and how he came to receive the Miracle of Sight. Musangu begins to tell the visitors that it all started in 2007 when he started having a smoky vision. This continued through the next couple of years until in 2011 when upon making a visit to Lewanika Eye Clinic, Musangu was diagnosed blind.
The worst of all is that I could not work in my field, I felt bad that I could not provide for my family Musangu narrated with emotion filled in his eyes.
