As many of you know we are getting married on Friday July 15th, 2011, and what better way to celebrate than to collect for a charity we are both passionate about. All of your donations will be going to a great cause so please dig deep and that would be a great wedding present for us both!
Thank you
Jo and Stefano
Orbis:
There are 45 million blind people in the world. 80% of these cases are avoidable and 90% live in developing countries. A cure is often simple and inexpensive, but in the world’s poorest countries even basic medical help is frequently out of reach. ORBIS is a global charity, dedicated to preserving and restoring the sight of the poorest people in the poorest communities across the world. Through innovative programmes and partnerships, ORBIS creates long-term, lasting solutions to prevent and cure blindness worldwide. We provide the tools, training and technology for local doctors and health care professionals to develop solutions to tackle avoidable blindness in their own countries. By building long-term capabilities in eye care institutions, ORBIS supports its partners in providing quality eye care services that are affordable, accessible and ultimately sustainable
