A little goes a long way in Cambodia. Seva's eye care programs are effective, efficient and get amazing results. Even a very small gift can make a difference and changes lives. One of the last patients we saw at the eye camp in Siem Reap a couple of weeks ago was a young mother holding her baby. The woman was blind in both eyes and had to be led to the eye camp by her friend in the hope that she could regain her sight. Tragically, she had had an eye infection about four years ago that was left untreated because she didn't have access to care. The damage to her eyes was permanent and she will never see her child (see photo). Just $2.50 would have purchased a bottle of antibiotic eye drops that would have saved her sight and changed the course of her life. Please give generously to support Seva’s work in Cambodia. Donate today at https://app.etapestry.com/hosted/SevaCanada/OnlineDonation.html Our urgent need is for $4000 to cover these items:
  • poor patient subsidies
  • medicines and supplies
  • poor patient transportation
  • and primary school and orphanage screening.
