Seva, the Vancouver based aid organization that works with global partners to operate its sight program in 3rd world countries, has opened a primary eye-care centre in the remote district of Bajura, Nepal, over 1,000 km away from the capital of Kathmandu. This is the last region in the country without access to eye care, and the inauguration of the centre will mean Seva, its donors and the people of Nepal will realize their longtime dream to establish a primary eye-care facility in every region of the country.
For those of you who do not know about Seva and their amazing work in providing critical eye care to some of the poorest on our planet, please do take a look at their website for more background (Seva – www.seva.ca), or for more detail on the opening of the newest clinic in Bajura, Nepal, please take a look at this recent article from the Vancouver Province.
