Early this morning, Rosi Jack and the team travelled to Desire’s home in Mbalmayo district, rural Cameroon. As transport to hospital is often very difficult for people living in rural communities – the hospital sends a vehicle to collect them. #Dream4Sight

Neglected Tropical Diseases (#NTDs) are a group of infectious diseases affecting people in the poorest parts of the world. In addition to the physical suffering & #disability, affected people face social exclusion & have high rates of mental ill health - bit.ly/2M0ztyr

The wait is over! Dr Nkumbe carefully removed Desire’s bandages. Desire slowly opened his eyes and a huge smile spread across his face as he saw his wife clearly for the first time. Thank you for helping to make this miracle happen. cbmuk.org.uk/dreamforsight #Dream4Sight

Thanks to our supporters who have made this miracle possible. You have enabled the poorest patients to get surgery, even when, like Desire, the cost would usually be far out of reach. Thanks for helping Desire reach his dreams. #Dream4Sight

Finally! #Dream4Sight

Hate speech is spreading like wildfire. Social media is being exploited as a platform for bigotry. Public discourse is being coarsened. The cancer is spreading. It is our duty to find a cure. My remarks today at the NY Islamic Cultural Center: bit.ly/2TqJ2dY

Just flew into Paris. On the flight, watched an awesome movie « A Man for the Weekend » . I am floored by the quality of the movie and acting. ICT, Music, and now films! The sky is the limit. Anglophone artists are soaring. The theme song by Daphne just was the icing on the cake.

This Sunday - #WorldHealthDay2019 , @CBMworldwide will be launching a new phase of our #mentalhealth work! #CBMforMentalHealth @cbmuk @CbmSchweiz

During this time of #Lent we are invited to look to others too with charity, which frees us from the vanity of possessing, from thinking that things are good if they are good for me.
