ZALIKA'S EYES

This is Zalika.  Isn't she cute!  Her happiness is contagious in the classroom.  Cari enrolled her last year into the Vision of Destiny baby class.  She and her sister now spend their days in class learning their numbers and letters, playing at recess, singing songs and learning English.  Both sisters are precious but Zalika has a problem.  She doesn't see well.  Her eyes are horribly crossed.  She manages to get around ok but it is a problem for her.  One day she was carrying her lunch around to the front of the school to sit in the shade and eat when I saw her miss the bottom step of the stairs.  Down went her plate of food and suddenly she was lying in the dirt.  I ran over and picked her up.  Tears began streaming down her face.  Not only was she embarrassed but food is scarce at her house and she didn't think she would be given another plate of food.  Of course she did right then and there.  But the truth is, Zalika has trouble seeing.  Cari has done reseach in town and has found a surgeon who is qualified to do this surgery on Zalika's eyes to straighten them.  He has performed this surgery before.  We estimate the cost to be around $1,500 for the surgery and hospital stay.  Remarkably affordable compared to what it would cost here...but we don't have it.  Please help us with the cost so we can help Zalika see.  It will change her life permanently - not just during her childhood but throughout her adulthood as well.  No one will hire her with such terribly crossed eyes.  Please donate here:  give to Uganda School (make a footnote:  Zalikka's Eyes). I am certain that God will fill this need!  Any tiny bit will help - so please help us help Zalika.  I'll let you know when the need has been met!
