Sending out Dr. Sebastiao!

What an exciting day for the Clements family!!! We came to Angola for John to train doctors in Ophthalmology, and today we had the graduation of his first prodigy! Dr. Sabastiao Mavatiti has gone through John's fast cataract surgery course, he has completed 100 cataract surgeries with good results and this evening we commissioned him to one of the northern provinces of Angola. Angolans caring for Angolans, it is so wonderful.

We are so proud of  Dr. Sebastiao, he has shown himself to be a compassionate, careful, and a compitent doctor.  May the Lord continue to flood our doors with people like Dr. Sebastiao, who have a heart to learn and help others.

 Then, pictured below,  the tear jerking part of the ceremony, when John had one of Sabastiao's patients stand up. And he said that before sugery he couldn't see, now because of doctor Sabatiao, he can see. Wow! So beautiful.



                                           The Boa Vista team makes it all happen!


The rugrats, that interrupt ceremonies.
Congratulations Dr. Sebastiao Mavatiti!!!
We are so proud of you.
