Seva Foundation's Sight Program Director is Dr. Chundak Tenzing, a Tibetan ophthalmologist from Nepal, who lives and breathes Seva's mission of restoring sight and preventing blindness. Anyone who has ever met Chundak cannot help but be impressed by his caring nature and his deep compassion.
Chundak is also a poet. He sent the following message and poem for Seva Canada's blog:
I am sharing with you
Voices from the field
Where the blind
Receive sight restoration
And walk unassisted
To live a life
With dignity
When a heart opens its petals
Like a blooming flower
And hands deliver
A gift of sight
The expression of gratitude
Rolls down a cheek
Like dewdrops
Glistening in the sunshine
To wonder and say
What a journey
It is to be giving
And receiving
Happiness
In its purest form
With no strings attached
grateful Seva patients young and old
