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.
