Julie Harris, Unite For Sight Volunteer: "Can you tell us about your eye surgery?"
Ben Johnson, Unite For Sight Cataract Surgery Patient: "Well, since I took my surgery, I'm so happy. And this eye worried me for 4 years now, 2002, when I came to Ghana. God bless everybody who come to do this for us. I wanted to go do this for myself, but I don't have the money. Look at a handsome man like me...I want to God bless you to come. I'm happy, so happy. and since then, I did my eye, this is my eye. I can now see someone that's near to me, I can now read. I would hear a voice, I would know you, but I can't see you. But NOW, I can see you, I can read, I can write. I'm so happy. That's why I want to go and do the next one. So that I can be happy. Even before, I wouldn't try because I was thinking that I would be a blind man. But now, I'm getting fat. I'm happy, I have rest of mind. So I'm so happy. So happy."
Julie Harris: "Oh then we're so happy, too."
Ben Johnson: "So happy."
