Story

As most of you know, we love a bargain (especially Jess), and Orbis offers pretty spectacular value for money. A mere twenty quid will give someone their eyesight back, through a simple procedure like a cataract operation. Which means they can go to school or support their family. 

My mum suffered from poor eyesight, and latterly it deteriorated to the point where she was struggling with everyday tasks. I can't imagine how tough it must be to live with complete blindness, especially if you don't have the good old NHS there to help.

Many thanks in advance,

Jess & Juan x
