In an effort to bring awareness to the unacceptable rate of blindness in Tibet we asked 'What would you miss?' This is what we got:
We've put a call out to the entire world to consider what they would miss if they lost their eyesight in an attempt to bring awareness to the unacceptable rate of blindness in Tibet. Most of this blindness is due to cataract. Cataracts can be removed, and sight restored, with a relatively simple and highly cost-effective operation, yet most Tibetans blinded by cataracts never regain their sight because they cannot access the limited eye care services available.We want to change all of that! Here are the gifts that other people would like to give Tibetans by restoring their eyesight.
For more videos and photos that put into perspective just how gifted we are to have our sight check out the 'Your Love in Action' tab under 'Our Love' at the top of the page. We would love if you, your family, your class or your community would share what you would miss! Please send us your photo to loveatfirstsight2010@live.com and take the time to check out the information posted on this site and make a donation on our 'Act Now' page. Together we can change the world!
