O'CONNOR JOINS OPERATION EYESIGHT

TORONTO - Operation Eyesight Universal is pleased to announce that Lindsay O'Connor has been appointed Manager for International Media and Public Relations.

O'Connor has traveled to Africa and India to see firsthand how Canadians are helping in the developing world. He has seen disability turn into ability - a child's despair into hope. He has also interviewed many celebrities and world leaders to help the 'forgotten people' of our world.

Operation Eyesight Universal is the original Canadian response to global blindness. Dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness, this organization has brought sight-restoration and blindness-prevention treatment to many millions of people in the developing world since 1963. Operation Eyesight seeks to create high-quality eye care and community development programs that are self-sustaining and able to provide the best service for the world's poorest people. (SOURCE: CNW)
