Nine year old Angel is a Thai-British girl battling diabetes. Her condition is causing her vision loss, but she dreams of becoming a teacher one day. Now preparing for eye surgery, her community in Ban Dung, Udon Thani is providing unwavering support and encouragement.

 

Angel, admired for her cheerful nature, is loved by everyone in her village who wishes for her speedy recovery from this vision-threatening condition. Today, Angel’s mother will take her to Udon Thani Centre Hospital to rest before undergoing the surgery. Meanwhile, Weeraphon Raksmewong, an administrator of the Ban Dung Facebook page, has volunteered to provide transport for the mother-daughter duo to and from the hospital.

 

Angel’s mother shared a clip of her daughter, excited about the upcoming procedure, hugging her favourite doll Cherry. Angel expressed her eagerness to see her friends at school again and to continue her studies.
