Thank you to all those that were able to come out recently to the Hackettstown Rotary event to learn about the Himalayan Cataract Project for curing blindness.  

Guests above, are from left, Dr. Benedicta Louisa Appiah-Thompson, leading ophthalmologist at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, in Ghana. Phyllis Mhango in company with Dr. Thompson.

Early this past October, her team hosted high-volume surgical outreach with support of the Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP) to restore sight to hundreds of individuals who had lost their vision to cataracts. At the end of five days, the team of five surgeons set a new national record in Ghana of 713 sight-restoring surgeries.

Rotarians, and guests, from left to right, Craig Newton, Craig Stroud, Dr. Thompson, Norman Worth, Laurie Rapisardi, Jim Sheldon, Bruno Gubelmann, Linda Poisseroux, Norman Jensen, and Diana Fox.
