A touching moment unfolded at Bukedea Teaching Hospital Grounds as a 104-year-old beneficiary, Amoding Esther, received a wheelchair from businessman and philanthropist Sudhir Ruparelia during the ongoing RR Eye Camp.

The humanitarian outreach, organized by the Ruparelia Foundation in memory of the late Rajiv Ruparelia, continues to transform lives across eastern Uganda, drawing thousands in need of free eye care and related medical support.

Esther, visibly moved by the gesture, expressed heartfelt gratitude after receiving the wheelchair, which will significantly improve her mobility and quality of life. In an emotional moment witnessed by patients, medical teams, and community members, the centenarian offered prayers for Sudhir Ruparelia, asking God to grant him many more years of life for his generosity and compassion.

The symbolic exchange of kindness captured the spirit of the RR Eye Camp, where medical intervention is intertwined with humanity, dignity, and hope. Esther’s story stood out among many, reflecting the deep impact the initiative continues to have on vulnerable communities.

The event, held at Bukedea Teaching Hospital, forms part of a broader tribute to Rajiv Ruparelia, whose legacy of philanthropy and community service is being carried forward through expanded outreach programs.

As the camp progresses, stories like Esther’s continue to highlight not only the medical success of the initiative but also the profound human connections being created where acts of generosity are met with gratitude, prayers, and renewed hope.
