Title: Can I give him my eyes?
Description: Richard Moore was ten years old when he was shot by a British soldier. 'Can I give him my eyes?' was the question Richard's father asked doctors when they broke the news that they could not save his sight. Richard Moore shares his remarkable story, describing the moment of grace that accompanied the realisation that he would never again see, and relating wonderful childhood escapades. Years later Richard met and befriended the man who shot him, and founded the charity Children in Crossfire. The Dalai Lama describes him as 'not only my friend, but also my hero.'
