A few comments and pictures during a personal visit in 2006:

Though I had heard of this blind lady healer in the past, this was our first meeting.  I did not seek her help but chose instead to watch her massage a baby.  During the hour or so that I was in her presence, a minimum of 3 ladies arrived seeking help for their ill babies.
