Hi Dr. Oliva. My father is now retired ophthalmologist from Nepal. (Dr. G.P. Pokharel). I just wanted to say that it makes me very happy to see people like you who have the same passion as my father for giving the Nepalese people a gift of sight. I have been lucky enough to witness first hand the happiness that people are overcome with when they are able to see again after sometimes as longs as 20 years. You guys are the real heroes of this world.
My question to you regarding Nepal is, what do you see repeatedly getting in the way of you and your colleagues doing what you love to do, help people?
BTW, I have met Dr. Ruit in person, many times. I also enjoyed the National Geographic special about him going to North Korea to help people and train their doctors.
