ORBIS

-ORBIS is an international non-profit organisation that helps people who have eye problems. Its mission is to help fight blindness worldwide. There is a fully equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom on a DC-8 aircraft.

ORBIS has visited seventy-six countries and treated over 22,000 people until now. ORBIS has provided training during three- week medical programmers for developing countries.

If you donate some money, you can make more people who are blind can see again. If you donate a lot of money, you can even provide a training for a group of doctors and nurses. And they can make thousands even hundreds thousands of blind people to see again.

Here is a example how ORBIS has helped a child.

A child called Shengli lives in the mountainous countryside of Chongqing, China, had some problems with his eyes, his family took him to see the local doctor and to a large hospital. But the doctors were unable to help. Then Shengli's father heard that ORBIS was coming to Chongqing. The family's saving were used up so his father was forced to borrow some money from his friends or relatives for expenses. Lastly, ORBIS helped him to regain his sight and he was able to see clearly and go back to school. Shengli was grateful to the doctors and nurses of ORBIS.

My opinion:

This child was very lucky because he can see clearly again and he was able to live a normal life. I can see that ORBIS could help blind people who have eye problems to see again. I hope people can donate money to ORBIS and let the doctors and nurses of ORBIS carry on helping the blind people around the world.
