The Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-04-01, Page 5Operatio Eyesight brings Dear Editor: Easter is a time of new life and new begin- nings. But for the 40 million destitute blind of the Third World there are few new begin- nings. Poverty has doomed them to darkness and despair. There 'is an all Canadian organization, Operation Eyesight Universal, which brings eye treatment and educational programs to the destitute blind of Asia, Africa., Bangladesh and ' many other countries where there is a need. Operation Eyesight Universal started about 25 years ago and I have been an ad= rnirer of them for many years. I marvel by managing donations sn well that 90 eont: �,rt LETTERS NEBERRIMIIIIIMIEREE of every dollar of income is used in curing the remedial blind. A tax deductible donation of $25 covers the cost of surgery, food, hospital stay, post operative care and glasses. It's a real miracle. Operation Eyesight, along with the cooperation of dedicated doctors and nurses in the developing world, can accomplish so much for so little money! And for every • $25 donation you receive a patient identification 'ft of sight card indicating who it was you restored to sight. Miracles can happen and are happening We in Canada can help to make those blind eyes setagafn. Donations may be sent to Operation'•Fyesight Universal, P.O. Boxr1.23, Stn. "M", C,algary, Alberta T2P 2H6. They issue receipts for income tax purposes. What better way to celebrate Easter than to give someone a new life and a new beginning.
