The $9,000 received in donations from GlobalGiving has been directed to the Ring of Hope Fund which is used mainly to treat patients suffering from life threatening eye cancers and tumors. (Please see the link below for more information and photos) These donations are either used for subsidized or free treatment of the under privileged people who are unable to pay. Since 2005 Aravind has helped serve 96 such patients who otherwise would have been unable to access crucial medical care. Approx. 10% of these patients were treated with the donations received from GlobalGiving.
