"I feel so lucky to have been here and seen and learned so many things," wrote William in an email. "I have had a chance to meet many of the staff at the Kham Eye Centre and Dr Danba has been so very nice and helpful in showing me around as time permits. This has been so very interesting and I think I will have a good story to tell Canadians about the great work that Seva and the Kham Eye Centre is doing."![cataract surgery Dartsedo Tibet William Jans patient on table with eye patch](/sites/default/files/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/cataract-surgery-Dartsedo-Tibet.jpg)
