The story behind this photo is simple but very touching. We went to visit the market one day, but we had no cash to buy. We met Cidália, and promised her that we would come back to buy spices from her. She said “everyone says that but in the end no one comes back”. One day, when we left work at the hospital where I was working as an Optometrist volunteer with Ocularis ONGD, we went back and bought her some spices. When she saw us, her face lit up and she hugged us. I asked her if I could take a picture of that moment, and she was delighted to accept. That is why she is so happy.
I remember she told me from the bottom of her heart: “God bless you”, and I was very touched.
