Photo Caption: Edina Mboje ran a restaurant in her remote village in central Tanzania until her vision was clouded by cataract. Her husband and son helped out as much as they could, but eventually they had to shut down the restaurant, leaving Edina at home during the day while her husband worked in the fields and her son walked to school in a nearby town. This photo was taken at the moment that Edina was told by a visiting ophthalmologist that her condition was treatable, and that she would have her sight restored the following day at the nearby hospital. Edina\'s surgery was successful, and she has since returned to her village where she is helping her husband in the field, assisting her son with his studies, and preparing to reopen the family restaurant business.
