Hi Friend,

Eight-year-old Mutoni boarded the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital in Kigali with Seymour the Bear in her arms and two years of pain and blurred vision caused by a growing mass on her eyelid. But her life was about to take off thanks to supporters like you.  

Her mother, Denise, never left her side. “I’m most excited to see my daughter happy and relieved after the procedure,” she told us.

Thanks to the skill of Orbis Volunteer Faculty, Dr. Ron Pelton—and the compassion of our supporters—Mutoni’s surgery was a success. Her vision is clear, her pain is gone, and her smile is brighter than ever. 

We'd like to say a big thank you from Mutoni and Denise, and all of us at Orbis.

Team Orbis
