Carole Robinson Workshop Co-ordinator Give the precious gift of sight Dear Editor, As Canadians we are approaching, the celebration of a special day of Thanksgiy- ing to God for all His good gifts to us, both as a nation and as individuals. . • • I.et us .think of some gifts that we take for granted - pure water, electricity, nourishing food, health and care plans, recreational areas, to name a few. The list Can be endless: Now turn our thought§ to the Developing World and note the sad con- trast. What can be done to bring joy. into the liveS of some of thern? We are apt to say: "It is the responsibility of governments and*rld organizations". We could say: "What cari I do to help?" As individuals and as groups we can help 'to restore sight to many of the world's estimated 42 million curable blincIpersons through cataract surgery. Can you believe that a $25 tax-deductible donation to the Canadian charity; Operation Eyesight Universal, will pay for cataract surgery, drugs, hospitalization, special glasses and follow-up care for one patient? For the price of a hockey ticket or a special dinner, we can give the precious gift of sight and a new independent, useful life to a destitute blind person who otherwise is doomed to • darkness. As a volunteer supporting the work of Operation Eyesight Universal I can assure you that there is no more rewarding gift than this. In its 22 years, sight has been restored to oyer 600,000 blind persons of all ages. Thousands nicire have been treated for eye ailments, and many thousands ' more have been saved from, blindness; OEU has medical teams in 16 different countries. To give Someone the priceless gift of sight, simply send a cheque or money order to Operation Eyesight Universal, ,P.O. Box 123, Stn. "M", Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2H6. A receipt for income fax pur- poses will be issued right away. You will receive, for every $25 donation, a patient identification card Showing the name, age and sex of the persons to whom you gave sight and new life, What a wonderful, joyous Thanksgiving Day is ours when we can give this meagre- amount•that will accomplishso much.
