India is home to maximum number of those unfortunate who are unable to see this beautiful world. Yes, Loss of sight is a serious problem and no country has got more blinds than our very own.
One more for the info. Most of these cases are CURABLE. But we lack donors. And for this very reason, The YP Mahindru Nirmaya Eye Bank, a Gurgaon based trust, organises events like "Run-for-Vision", Cycling, etc. It was a "Walk-a-thon" on 27-02-2011. A 3.5 km walk, in which more than a thousand people participated. Main attraction was the presence of jawans from BSF and CRPF. ( Mr S.S. Deshwal, Commisioner of Police, Gurgaon honoured the occassion by participating. (He had pledged his eyes when a 'blind-folded' walk was organised last year for the same cause.) Youth band AZADI performed when the walk was completed. The event ended up with some jaw dropping stunts by some biker daredevils, alond with two young cyclists.
All this for one message - DONATE EYES.
Yes, it was to make people aware that we can take someone's darkness away by donating something that we won't be taking with us in afterlife.
Yes friends, let us all pledge eyes. It's such a noble thing!!!!
