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.

Hooray we are halfway there!

Another big thank you goes out to all of the donors who are helping us meet our fundraising goal! So far you have helped us raise $1700, enough to sponsor 34 cataract surgeries! This is just over half of our goal. Thanks so much to those who have helped sponsor such a huge life-changing surgery for these people. We are touched by your generosity and grateful for your concern. Here's a shout-out to you! Thanks so much, keep spreading the word so we can reach this goal by Feb 22, just over a month left!
