The next morning we began seeing the patients. Within a couple of hours Dr. Colquhoun was doing surgeries.

The patients had been notified by one page anouncements. Many traveled days by foot. Some from surrounding countries. There are less than 10 ophthalmologists in Zambia (the size of Texas).

The entire porch was occupied by patients so eager to get help, that they had wated for days sleeping out side , on concrete, next to people they didn't know.

We unloaded the more than 700 pounds of supplies that we brought to help our friends. We were each allowed 2-50lb check in bags and one carry on. To bring as much as possible, we tried to keep our personal items to our carry-ons.

We arrived at the Zimba Eye Clinic after the sun had set.
