Let's face it -- everyone loves Dr. Spencer.
Marty has been a Seva board member for over 20 years and is a respected and much-loved ophthalmologist on Vancouver Island. He has both performed surgery and trained eye care specialists in India, Nepal, Tibet, Malawi and Guatemala. He was one of the first doctors in the world to travel to India, Nepal and Tibet to set up eye camps in remote areas.
As a volunteer, he receives no funds and pays for the trips himself. He has voluntarily operated on thousands of cataract patients, transforming their lives by restoring their sight.
In February 2009, Dr. Spencer travelled to Nepal and Cambodia to train eye doctors and to perform surgeries. His youngest daughter, Justine, accompanied him and said it was amazing to see the reception that her father received. She said it was like her dad was going home again; everywhere Marty was welcomed with open arms.
We could go on and on about how wonderful Marty is (especially since we have the password to the blog and he doesn't!), but instead we'll share some of his excellent photos that he took in February in Nepal.
