Ibra's is back in Uganda with his American eye

Ibra is back in Uganda with his prosthesis. Scroll down the blogs to see a picture of the eye in progress. It looks great.

Thanks to all who participated in making it happen, especially Gillian Duncan and Gene Fletcher, Dr Eric Nelson and Dr Peterson of Edina. You have all worked a miracle! May God abundantly and overwhelmingly bless you!

Also, there is an annonomous donor who gave the airfare and other expense money for Ibra and a guardian to go to Kenya in 2004 to try and get an eye there. Though it couldn't happen there, it gave us hope that something was possible.

Thank you for your generosity and for keeping me (Aimee) encouraged to try and find some help for Ibra. It was your donation that made me believe it was possible.

Today, Ibra is full of confidence and joy. Just a couple years ago, it was hard to get him to look at you. Thank you to all! He appreciates those who have loved him and believed in his future and so do we (David and Aimee and the whole Redeemed Africa family).

Now, back in Uganda, Ibra plans to finish school and study either medicine or teaching. He says it depends on whether he can learn to handle the site of blood or not. :>)

While in the US, Ibra played lots of soccer, enjoyed big cheesy burgers, and loved the snow. He met great people and had a blast. It was hard to go back but he has a plan and will be successful in accomplishing it.
