WORLD BLINDWALK '17
WORLD BLINDWALK organised by PROJECT VISION was the largest eye donation campaigns in the world in 2016 as per the report compiled by the IAPB (International Association for the Prevention of Blindness) on World Sight Day.

It was conducted in Five countries (US, China, Srilanka, Nepal and India), spread across Fifty five locations, organized through Five Hundred Partner organizations, with Five thousand visually challenged leaders, Five thousand volunteers, and Twenty five thousand blindfolded participants. BlindWalk has become the best tool for promoting eye donations across the nations.
Launching WORLD BLINDWALK '17 - involving several countries in about 100 locations. A Manual for organising BlindWalk was released by Mr Anand who conceived the idea of BlindWalk, Ms Smeja who coordinated the report along with Mrs Alphonse and Family.
