Recently, Ms. Anh Tang, a teacher in Nanaimo, had eye sugery performed by Dr. Martin Spencer, an ophthalmologist and long-time Seva board member.
Ms. Tang's Grade 4/5 students at Pauline Haarer School in Nanaimo were grateful that their teacher was back and could see well. To "pay it forward", Ms. Tang and her students organized three potluck lunches as fundraisers for Seva. Together the students and Ms. Tang donated $200 towards Seva's sight programs -- enough to fund at least 4 sight-restoring eye surgeries.
A Certificate of Appreciation has been sent to the school together with a story of a blind mother who, thanks to the efforts of her 6-year-old daughter, had her eyesight restored. There is no limit to the power of the human heart to change the world.
Thank you to the students of Pauline Haarer and to Anh Tang for their kindness and compassion and for helping the blind see again.
