Good News Thursday: Eye doctor aids the poor, Canary Islands hotel offers shelter to migrants

April 15, 2021 12:00 AM
Dr. Sanduk Ruit is Nepal's best eye doctor. Known as the country’s “God of Sight,” Ruit is renowned for creating inexpensive cataract surgery. He offers his surgery to the poor community in Nepal. A makeshift hospital sits next to the Mayadevi temple where Buddha was born more than 2,600 years ago. Hundreds of people line up each day to help their fading eyesight. “The whole objective, aim and my passion and love is to see there remain no people with unnecessary blindness in this part of the world,” Ruit told the Associated Press.

When the pandemic began, Greece’s schools were moved online, but the students of Avlona Special Youth Detention Center did not have access to electronics and the teachers had no experience setting up a TV channel. This did not stop the school’s director Petros Damianos.
