Isn't This a Miracle?
The PBL doctor diagnosed cataracts and referred them to the ophthalmic center in Peshawar,
Pakistan. Since the family is very poor, PBL took over the transportation and the operation costs and
care during and after the operation. The day after the operation the doctor took away their eye patches
and they realized there was light in the room! They were so surprised and they called their fathers:
'Father, father, I can see!' The fathers of the boys were overwhelmed with joy and said that they would
celebrate this miracle within their village community in spite of their poverty.

Assadulla and Farhad, seven and eight year old boys,
live with their families in a village called Qala Tack in the
Qarghai district of Laghman province. Both boys suffered
from congenital cataracts. They are not the only ones.
Assadulla and Farhad have at least 15 blind family
relatives.
The two boys spent their lives in darkness and were
learning braille taught by a SERVE teacher. When the
PBL project started in their district, the two boys came to
have their eyes checked.
