What was gained through this trip in life experience and personal growth, let alone occupational skills and actual field work, is incomparable. I was one of few blessed with the opportunity to be a component of this phenomenal Gift of Sight mission team.
For me, this trip grew from a seemingly random phone call from half way across the country. I decided to take the initiative and contact the amazing doctor whom I would come to not only know as a colleague and team mate but as a great mentor, Ahsan Khan. This formidable, though humble man, was the head of the care of over 100 patients.
I cannot forget Dr. Amna who taught me who to read - an eye chart, that is, and Dr. Saqib, who took the time to teach me how to take excellent care of patients before surgery.
From the very hard work and dedication of the entire team and the indefatigable director of Humanity First Guatemala, “Don David”, I was able to see the immense gratitude from the people we helped. One patient, for example, just barely emerged from the influence of the anesthesia before beginning to express her thankfulness to the team.
All praise belongs to God for permitting me to be a witness to such beauty in the field of work, in the country, the people, and in helping other merely for the sake of helping others.
