Unite for Sight

During the past several years as visitors to this blog will know, several friends and I have been attempting to establish a not-for-profit radio reading service covering the Acadiana area. That is why I can relate to and applaud the devotion and service of this young medical student, Jennifer Staple. Stanford is lucky to have her there as was Yale. She has formed an international organization to offer free ophthalmological care to low-income people worldwide. She wants to prevent the kinds of blindness that can result from an inability to afford medical care such as glaucoma--a disease I unfortunately know too well!

Life is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things and she definitely has.

IMAGINE That!
