Cornea-Help and Eye Live together
Dear Members, Supporters, and Friends of Cornea-Help,
Today, we have some very special news to share with you. Our dedicated volunteer representative for Rwanda, Noella, recently traveled to Liberia on behalf of Cornea-Help e.V.
Thanks to your support, we were once again able to facilitate corneal transplantations in Liberia, West Africa. During her visit, Noella established personal connections with the Indian organization LVPEI and the doctors on-site. LVPEI U is responsible for the ophthalmology department at the John F. Kennedy Hospital in Monrovia and is an important partner in our mission.
We also have great news from East Africa: we were able to help five more patients regain their vision through corneal transplantations.
With this successful start to the year, we are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and excited about what lies ahead.
A heartfelt thank you for your continued support!
Warm regards,
Klaus Renken
Chairman of Cornea-Help e.V.
