Voodoo is Scary

Yevenor tells me his mother is blind. She is 44. I ask if he would like to bring her to the clinic to see our American  doctors. Maybe the doctors can offer some suggestions on what to do.

"No", he tells me, “she already see a doctor.  There is nothing she can do".   I ask what caused her blindness.

"Someone put a spell on her", He says very matter of factly and I want to know who.

 "We think a family member; she had a good business and someone got jealous. So they put a spell on her. We don't know which one did this to her. Voodoo is scary".
