It is no coincidence that the poorest region in the world also has the highest amount of correctable blindness from cataracts.   A simple $100 donation will restore the sight of a child and give them a chance at an education,  a chance to see all that is possible in this world.   Become an honorary member of SSI today.   With your help we can make 2012 the year we stopped looking away from world blindness. It's time to do some good.
