Way back in 1990 - I became acquainted with eminent Ophthalmologists-Drs. Arun & Reena Sethi. They had dream, and it was Deseret's good fortune to help them fulfill their goals. The quality eye work they had initiated then, has born good fruit and expanded much beyond those earlier dreams. For the past 15 years, Deseret has been supporting them, in their mission to "reverse the tide of curable blindness", in Delhi. In 2004, we collaborated in the construction of a beautiful and functional state of the art, tertiary eye care hospital - the Arunodaya Deseret Eye Hospital (ADEH), where charity work and training go on at an ever increasing rate, since 1st January, 2005. ADEH is expected to become relatively self sufficient in a few years. Still there will always be demand for additional funding. We hope some of you will consider becoming partners, and support of efforts. The name "Deseret" is taken from an ancient from word representing beehive - and suggests the idea that in the beehive all work together, doing what they do best, for a common cause. and they produce something sweet! We encourage and of the readers to consider becoming associated with Arunodaya - Deseret Hive and help this noble work along. You will never find a bigger bang for the buck, with any other foundation.
"The work restoring sight" is vital, efficient and life changing. The over-head costs
are minuscule the dedication is real. |
