Conquering Kilimanjaro for Sankara Eye Foundation · 12 August 2007

Sankara Eye Foundation Europe (SEFE) is a UK registered charity (reg no 1109767) that was formed in 2004 to raise funds to support eye care activities in developing countries and to support the free opthalmic activities of Sankara Eye Care Institutions (SECI), India in particular. From a humble beginning in 1977 to being a national role model for community eye care, Sankara Eye Care Institutions, today stand for - super-speciality eye care that reaches remote regions of India and other neighbouring countries.Blessed by the devine grace of the Sankaracharyas of Kanchi and with the sustained involvement of various voluntary bodies and philanthropists around the world, like Vision for the Future Trust, SEF-USA, Mission for Vision Trust and Sight Savers UK, SECI has now brought light into the lives of innumerable people.The aim of SECI is to achieve 20/20 perfect vision by the year 2020 by establishing similar institutions in other under served areas of India.Further details on all the intitutions can be found at - www.sankaraeye.com

Story

Imagine not being able to see a rainbow

Then imagine being blind but not being able to afford a simple cure.  

This is where Sankara Eye Foundation helps. It treats people with curable  blindness, free of charge. It is building hospitals around India - the next one to be built is in Anand, Gujarat.

I have accepted a daunting challenge to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro (from 1st of September to 11th September) to raise money for Sankara Eye Foundation. I have been training hard and am looking forward seeing Africa from its highest point.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Better still, try to organise some corporate sponsorship for me through your employer. Every effort will be gratefully appreciated.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sankara Eye Foundation Europe will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax may be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please help me reach my target!

Many thanks for your support,

Vinit
