<strong>FIMA</strong> GIVES VISION<br />
Indeed since the establishment <strong>of</strong> this eye care<br />
center, a generous relief gesture by <strong>FIMA</strong>, a<br />
large number <strong>of</strong> patients from all ethnic<br />
backgrounds have benefited.<br />
Many local ophthalmologists were hired by the<br />
charitable organizations to provide services to<br />
poor blinds who live in remote peripheries <strong>of</strong> Sri<br />
Lanka.<br />
<strong>FIMA</strong>’s contribution in establishing this<br />
invaluable center has indeed been praised by<br />
thousands who were benefited and got their<br />
vision back, who otherwise would have died<br />
without having any opportunity to once again<br />
see this wonderful world that Almighty Allah<br />
created with beauty, and would have continued<br />
to live as outcasts and a burden for themselves,<br />
their families, the society and the country.<br />
May Allah bless in abundance in both worlds all<br />
those who contributed towards this worthy<br />
project.<br />
