Hi all,
Unite For Sight is seeking laptop donations for its programs and
partners at Buduburam Refugee Camp and in Tamale, Ghana. If you or a
friend have a laptop that you could donate, please send an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unite For Sight is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, and donations to Unite For Sight are tax deductible.
_Buduburam Refugee Camp_
Karrus Hayes is a refugee at Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana, where he
works tirelessly every day to direct an elementary school that he
founded at the refugee camp, and he also leads Unite For Sight's free
eye care programs at the refugee camp. You can read Karrus's biography
online http://uniteforsight.org/humanitarian_profile.php He is a special
humanitarian
We are seeking donated laptops for children to use at Karrus's school.
Karrus says: "Laptops donated will be really useful to the school and
the kids. The school has had a computer room, but no computer has ever
entered there since we started."
_Crystal Eye Clinic_
A database system is being developed between the Unite For Sight
screening site at Buduburam Refugee Camp and at Crystal Eye Clinic,
which is located 1 hour from the refugee camp and provides eye care to
the refugees. Laptops are needed for both the screening site at
Buduburam and for the ophthalmologists and staff at Crystal Eye Clinic
_Eye Clinic of Tamale Teaching Hospital_
In Tamale, Ghana, Unite For Sight's partner ophthalmologist, Dr. Wanye,
is the only eye doctor for 2 million people in the entire region. Prior
to our partnership, Dr. Wanye often went months without providing a
single cataract surgery because the community members could not afford
the $35 cost of surgery. Unite For Sight volunteers now work with him to
assist with screening outreach programs, and Unite For Sight funds the
cataract surgeries for the patients so that no one will remain blind due
to lack of funds.
Laptops are needed at Eye Clinic of Tamale Teaching Hospital for patient
data recording and other electronic needs.
DONATIONS OF LAPTOPS, ROUTERS, DIGITAL CAMERAS, AND OTHER ITEMS WILL BE
GREATLY APPRECIATED BY UNITE FOR SIGHT AND ITS PARTNERS IN GHANA. ALL
DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Staple
Founder, President and CEO
