It's 47 weeks to Seva Canada's 30th Anniversary. As part of our countdown campaign to the anniversary, Random Acts of Seva, we thought we'd highlight the incredible generosity of musicians to our mission of restoring sight and preventing blindness in the developing world. For three decades, musicians in the US and Canada have performed benefit concerts and raised both funds and friends for Seva. 3rd eyeball poster the grateful dead and the band
