Hi all,

Unite For Sight has many new volunteer opportunities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe for Summer 2005, Fall 2005, and Spring 2006. Opportunities are available in rural villages, urban locations, and refugee camps (including in the tsunami region). You can read about all of the opportunities at http://www.uniteforsight.org/intl_volunteer/

Unite For Sight volunteers implement outreach programs to prescribe eyeglasses, implement eye health education, and screen for cataracts, pterygium, and other eye diseases. All patients with eye disease either receive on-site care by eye doctors or are referred to the closest quality eye clinic for diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. This new form of delivery enables sustainable programs while simultaneously reducing all of the barriers to health care, including financial, transportation, and education hindrances. Unite For Sight's model also reduces costs and expands the ability of all people to "Unite For Sight" and help in the fight against blindness.

Optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists are especially welcome to participate in the international programs.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Staple
Founder, President & CEO
