With World Sight Day approaching (Oct. 12) I would like to bring to your attention an organization I support called HCP Cureblindness. It’s a charitable organization that is working to cure avoidable blindness by providing free sight-restoring surgeries in some of the most remote and under-served regions, and training in-country doctors to do the same.
In their almost 30 years of operations, HCP and their partners have provided an amazing 1.4 million sight-restoring surgeries to people in need, trained almost 20,000 eye care professionals in low- and middle-income countries, and have established 5 eye hospitals–and they are poised to do so much more in the years ahead.
I can’t think of a more magical gift to give someone than to restore their sight.
Please visit HCP’s website (www.cureblindness.org) to see for yourself the difference they’re making in the world. And think about how exciting it would be to be part of the solution by getting involved yourself.
