Out of Sight, Out of Mind? World Sight Day Combats Preventable Blindness

Posted by Brittany on 12 October 2011

Tomorrow (13th OCtober) is World Sight Day, and we're in the studio with the very lovely and glamorous Jemma Kidd and Krishani from the blindness charity ORBIS.

We're talking about Jemma's recent trip to Ethiopia and what ORBIS are doing to try and combat preventable blindness in developing and third world countries - research has shown that 80% of blindness could be reversed or prevented if people just had access to clean sanitation and antibiotics.

Jemma is incredibly passionate about this cause, and is getting all the presenters into the campaign - Go Jemma!

If you want to find out some more about Jemma's visit and also what ORBIS are doing and all about their flying eye hospital, then click onto www.jemmakidd.com or www.orbis.org and get involved.
