homonyms and then take some time to practice using suffixes but first we're
0:37
going to watch a clip about people who suffer from I problems
0:40
the people in this community live far from the city so it's hard for them to

0:51
poor and most of them have cataract and they are blind because of contract which
0:55
is preventable

where I could be cared for
1:11
