Press coverage on New Year Day

We are sure that you have special memories about the New Year celebrations and the resolutions. We wanted people to make selfless resolution for those who have never seen bright light of the New Year day. We appealed people through local newspaper to register as eye donor.

Your generous support has helped us reach so far. Consider donating and help us achieve our donation goal through GlobalGiving. We are short of USD 1,770.00 from our set goal.

Here is the progress of our work
