    Your generosity towards the old lady brought tears to our eyes. If only we could find out if there is any chance she could get help outside of Lao . Are there any eye care people commenting on this page that can help. ? Hopefully , There can be a Happy Ending. Be Well Guys 🙏 Jim and Harriet

      Hi Jim, Harriet 👋 Not yet Jim. I was hoping somebody would see this video that is more knowledgeable in this area and suggest what we could do from here. As stated, it was the eye hospital in Vientiane that said nothing could be done.. 😢

    • @CaptainKremmen
      @CaptainKremmen 3 месяца назад +1

      @@NowinLao That reply is too vague for us to know. It would be good to find out exactly what her condition is. It might be the eye hospital could do nothing because it's impossible or it could just be because they don't have the technology. There have been great strides in implanting replacement lenses, etc, in recent years, but some of it would be extremely expensive from a Laos perspective. I'd bet there are procedures available in Thailand that haven't made it to Laos yet.

    Hi Todd, I missed this vlog somehow but have come back to it now. So glad that you were able to come back and help this dear blind lady, who does not appear to be that old. Mind you most people are younger than me these days. What you have done to help her and her family is amazing. Great to see Mina and her brother enjoying time together and that he is always so happy to see you and Neenee too. Lovely how Mina was all packed up and ready to go. Greta vlog as always Todd, may the good Lord bless you all.😀❤🙏

    If a person can't be moved by this and some other videos in Todd's Now in Lao collection, then they are soulless ghouls. Amongst other things besides the interesting exploration of Lao, is the Humanity and Compassion shown in this channel that makes it special. Thanks Todd, NeeNee and Mina. 👍🏼♥️

    Very beautiful and touching video with the old woman. I was crying, also. Who wouldn’t? In another week or so I will send for Mina’s schooling. I’ve been a little under the weather, so to speak. Feeling much better now. Mina looks very pretty in her lovely dress. Always stay healthy and safe. Take care of those 2 precious ladies in your life. Cheers, mate.

    I know the discomfort the lady is in. My wife's aunt spent the last 40+ years of her life blind. She was blinded from a bomb blast. She had a wonderful support group of nieces and nephews to help her navigate thru her life. As it appears with this lady. Her first steps to possibly being helped have started. It is now up to this wonderful social media to continue to get her help, It has already started by reading the comments. Lets SEE what we can do.

    Hi Todd,
    Is there any way you could substitute those plastic bags with either recyclable or reusable cloth-based bags? I noticed those bags being haphazardly discarded. You've showed and commented in the past on how filthy many places in Laos are. A good start would be not to add more plastic waste into the waterways and land. Thanks Todd.
    Regarding the elderly blind woman. anyway of getting her to a high quality ophthalmologist in Vientiane or Bangkok? Maybe her blindness is reversible and the cost is way lower than either in the States or Australia if treatment is available for her condition.

    I get very mixed emotions when I see videos like this, on one hand we have the blind lady needing assistance, and she is just one of thousands, on the other hand, governments spending billions on needless wars, creating more people in need.
    We really need to get our act together.
