> A total of 100 poor blind people in central Quang Ngai province recently
shrugged off their life in the dark thanks to Thanh Nien's "Light for Life"
eye project.
>
> Doctors from the Quang Ngai Eye Center on Wednesday carried out eye
operations for 50 people from Son Tinh district and another 50 from Binh Son
district.
>
> All operations were funded by local and foreign sponsors who joined Thanh
Nien's project, which aims to bring back the light to poor blind people in
the country.
>
> "Today is definitely a great day for us," said patient Pham Ngoc Duc on
behalf of those who just had operations.
>
> The 62-year-old man had, for years, wished to see the faces of his wife
and children and, now, his dream had come true.
>
> Another patient Nguyen Ninh, 79, happily read out loud his first words
after 40 years in the dark. "I must be the happiest person in the world," he
said.
>
> "Light for Life" have so far funded eye operations for 450 people in Quang
Ngai province.
>
> Thanh Nien, the Quang Ngai Eye Center and the local health care center are
also planning operations for another 50 blind people later this month.
