Christmas Season is Here! Join us on our 12 DAYS OF SIGHT Open Menu See Video Meet Rosena From Haiti Rosena is a bright, 13 year old student. She loves going to school. However, about a year ago, she noticed that she had to strain her eyes as she read. Reading gave her headaches and it wasn't fun anymore. Our team in Haiti did a special screening at Rosena's orphanage and they found a simple solution to her problem. She received new prescription glasses! Once the doctor gave her a book to test out her new glasses, she was thrilled to read it with ease. Every story is a life restored. For the vast majority of the blind around the world, their life in darkness is unnecessary. They are stripped of their jobs, their schooling, their social connections, and their confidence. All of this can be avoided with an inexpensive surgery or pair of prescription glasses. Marseli’s Story - Tanzania Marseli lives in a rural village outside of Dodoma, Tanzania.
