Journey Through Darkness. A Story of Inspiration

Many of us may live our lives without ever stopping to think "What if I couldn't see?" We hardly ever ask ourselves this question because, to say the least, we take or eyes for granted. I, like most people, had never thought about it until 11th January 2008. My mother came to wake me up that morning and asked what I was still doing in bed and confidently I replied, "It is still dark outside Mum". She told me it was 8am and the sun was shining bright (a typical African morning!). I rubbed my eyes, opened them wider and yelled out, "I can't see! I can't see!" That was the beginning of a long journey through darkness.
