Day Six - Dance Class in Mumbai for Cate

Cate attended a private dance class with Arpita Step Up Dance Acadmey in Mumbai. Over two hours the amazing instructors taught her a traditional Indian dance and a Bollywood dance. Dance videos to come at a later date. 

The drive to and from the dance lessons were a chance to see the local area. I've included a short video of a standard street scene. We catch a flight tomorrow to Siliguri, India to get down to work. The real reason we are on this trip is to help people with correctable blindness.

The patients are lined up, as shown in the attached picture, waiting for reexamination of the results. Their family members are waiting with anticipation of the results in the hallway. All results were beautiful! Dr. Janal Shah examines the eye of a previously blind woman. The simple 20 minute surgery has restored her sight. Immediately following post op, the surgical team suited up for a second round of surgery. Today, the team conducted 32 cataract surgeries and one pterygium. Cate was busy helping the pros all day.
