Brayden and Laura: Bihar India
Global Impact Fellows With Unite for Sight
We just returned from Bihar India with a group called Unite for Sight to volunteer at the AB Eye Institute in March 2010. Unite for Sight is a non-profit organization that aims to prevent blindness by applying best practices for health care. This program works with local ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide eye exams, eye surgery, and outreach to poverty stricken communities in developing countries like Ghana, India, and Honduras. While abroad, we screened patients for cataracts, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. We participated in sight restoring cataract surgeries. Thanks to the support of SO many people, we have raised more than $3200 to support 64 cataract surgeries! This blog is meant to keep all those who have contributed to this effort informed and help them see where their donations are going.

Ho Ho Ho!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! We are so grateful for family, friends, and our Savior Jesus Christ. This season is filled with an air of giving! We want to thank everyone who has donated to prevent blindness. To date, we have raised money to help 11 patients receive sight restoring surgery that will bless them for the rest of their life.

Have a safe and enjoyable Christmas holiday with you and yours! Don't forget to tell everyone you know about this cause and let's help our fellow men!

Love,
Brayd and Lu
