World Sight Day 2009 (WSD) will fall on October 9 and will be marked by the launch of a new report looking back on the first five years of VISION 2020 and looking forward to the next fifteen. As WSD approaches VISION 2020 Partners will receive more information about this valuable report.
We hope to see you in San Francisco for our Joint Meeting with the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology, October 24–27. It will be preceded by Subspecialty Day, October 23–24.
VISION 2020: The Right to Sight is a global initiative of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and the World Health Organization (the WHO), with a coalition of international Non-Governmental Organisations. VISION 2020 aims to eliminate unnecessary blindness in order to give all people in the world, particularly the millions of needlessly blind, The Right to Sight.
Rattle Can Films produced VHI’s documentary
film, Puede Ver la Luz? (Can You See the
Light?) during our 2005 field program in
Piura, Peru. Brendan Kiernan (Principal,
Producer/Writer) and Frank Pickell
(Principal, Director of Photography, Editor)
devoted their time, energy and resources to
the project. VHI is grateful to Brendan and
Frank for their work as well as the time and
production costs they donated to the effort.
