That is why Operation Eyesight Universal is my favorite favorite Canadian charity. A $25.00 donation has an immediate immediate and dramatic effect. It pays for a cataract operation operation in one of the developing countries. Sight is restored to a destitute person who otherwise would blind for life. Last February, as a volunteer, volunteer, I visited OEU eye hospitals and eye camps in India. I saw first hand how that small $25.00 donation can turn n person's life around. A child, born blind, can see for the first time. A parent can get back to work to support a desperately poor family. The Canadian donor receives receives a post card signed by the physician, giving the name and age of the patient, the locale of the operation, and other particulars. With that card comes the thrill of recognition: "Yes, for once, I realty, did make a difference!" difference!" Someone's life has been changed forever. For a sum that you might spend wrapping and mailing your Christmas parcels, you can give the gift of sight - not only eyesight, but hope, joy and human dignity. Reach out now to' someone who otherwise is condemned to a lifetime of darkness. Send your donation to Operation Operation Eyesight Universal at P.O. Box 123, Station "M", Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2H6, or at 1719 Lawrence Avenue East, Suite 202, Scarborough, Scarborough, Ontario, MIR 2X7. A tax receipt will be issued.
