*What is Unite For Sight's Mission? *Unite For Sight 
(http://www.uniteforsight.org) <http://www.uniteforsight.org> is a 
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers communities worldwide to 
improve eye health and eliminate preventable blindness. 

Unite For Sight's work to prevent blindness and restore sight is 
featured weekly on CNN INTERNATIONAL from September 2007-August 2008

*What Do Volunteers Do?:* The goal of Unite For Sight and its partner 
eye clinics and communities is to create eye disease-free communities.  
Unite For Sight's volunteers (local and visiting) work with partner eye 
clinics to provide eye care in communities without previous access.  
Visiting volunteers from North America range from undergraduate and 
medical students, educators, nurses, and public health professionals to 
optometrists and ophthalmologists.  The eye clinic's eye doctors and 
Unite For Sight volunteers jointly provide community-based screening 
programs in rural villages.  The clinic's eye doctors diagnose and treat 
eye disease in the field, and surgical patients are brought to the eye 
clinic for surgery.  Patients receive free surgery funded by Unite For 
Sight so that no patient remains blind due to lack of funds

*What Programs Are Available?  *Winter 2008, Spring 2008, Summer 
2008. Fall 2008. Opportunities any time of the year.
