I recently found out that Tibetans have the highest rate of blindness of anywhere in the world because of a combination in altitude and poverty. BUT what is optimistic is that the type of blindness they suffer from can be reversed by a simple procedure that is close to just $50. In a country that is so heavily dependant on agriculture it is imperative that they have eyesight for survival.

A few friends and I have entered a contest under the team name Love at First Sight and over the past three weeks we have been spreading awareness and trying to reach our goal of $5,000 to put towards an eye camp in Tibet. If we reach this goal we could potentially help 100 people have the chance at full vision again. As a byproduct an entire community will be transformed. We are worried though as the deadline for donations is this Friday, March 12 at noon.
