leadership, impact, and success of the organization. Celebrities who

Sarandon, Jimmy Fallon, Mary J. Blige, and Jewel. *Oprah Winfrey says

ways to change the world."*

*What Several of Unite For Sight's Partner Eye Clinics Say:*
* "Unite For Sight has touched the lives of so many people in Ghana
and reduced the suffering of mankind. Many people now see Unite
For Sight as a symbol of hope. The question I have always asked
myself is 'what would have happened to all these people who have
benefited from Unite For Sight programs had the organization not
come to their aid?' It is likely that many would have perished in
their agony." --Dr. James Afful Clarke, Ophthalmologist/Medical
Director, Crystal Eye Clinic, Ghana
* "Visits of Unite For Sight volunteers help us enormously. They
assist us in eye camps when we do surgeries, help us in out reach
clinics screening patients for eye diseases and children for
refractive error. They help us check vision and distribute
glasses. Each volunteer also gives a presentation to the local
ophthalmologist on global community ophthalmology at our eye
clinics, which is very informative for all. As each day passes,
my faith and belief becomes stronger in the fact that our desire
to serve the poor patients and their desire to see wouldn't have
been possible without the assistance of Unite For Sight. --Dr.
Ajit Sinha, Director, A.B. Eye Institute; President, All India
Ophthalmological Society
* "With the help of Unite For Sight and its Volunteers we are able
to improve in the number of free cataract surgeries. Prior to our
association with Unite For Sight we were doing around 10-30 free
cataract surgeries each month. With the help of Unite For Sight we
were able to improve our surgical statistics three to four folds
and our free surgical volume increased to around 100 each month.
Every dollar of donation given to Unite For Sight is reaching to
the deepest corners of the world and impacting changes in lives of
people by giving them the gift of vision."--Dr. T. Senthil,
Ophthalmologist, Uma Eye Clinic and Vision Foundation, Chennai, India
* "I must say that Unite for Sight volunteers have come to give hope
to the people of Tamale and Northern Region, and all of us
appreciate the wonderful work these volunteers are doing for these
poor and vulnerable people who otherwise would not have access to
quality eye care services." --Dr. Seth Wanye, Eye Clinic of Tamale
Teaching Hospital, Ghana
* "I have no word to express our gratitude for your hard work and
untiring commitment towards the eye care work world wide and
putting optimum effort to recruit all good volunteers for
deployment. As we have been working with partnership by deploying
volunteers to our Kalinga Eye Hospital and NYSASDRI based in
Orissa, India, it gives me immense pleasure for such worth while
partnership for restoring vision of thousands of eye sight from
the remote and rural villages. Your support for conducting
cataract surgery for poor patients empowered them to live
independently and earn their own bread."--Sarangadhar Samal,
Director, NYSASDRI, Kalinga Eye Hospital, Orissa, India
