Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p> <p>I worked as an eye surgeon in Tanzania (where I lived with my wife and 4 daughters) for 7 years supported by CBM before recently starting as a consultant in London. As well as operating on thousands of blind children from all over the country we also trained eye surgeons from all over Africa in the specialist techniques necessary for children. This work was very exciting and will continue with your help.</p> <p>A child goes blind every 5 seconds and it is usually in the developing world and usually it is preventable or curable. Please help us at CBM help these children through your generosity.</p> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
