India's former president, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam visits Sankara

Last friday, India's former president, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam visited Sankara eye care hospital. It was his second visit and it was great that Alex, Sverre and I were invited to participate in the event organised in the hospital. Dr. Ramani even introduced him to us, it was a great honor! You can read his inspiring speech.
As on saturday it was his 80th birthday, he was offered a cake..... after the event, the staff, children and us also shared some of his birthday cake!
In order to celebrate his birthday, on friday 80 poor patients had their eyes operated and 80 children received free glasses!
