You’re invited to an evening that celebrates the life-changing gift of restored sight — made possible by compassionate supporters like you.
Please join us for a special reception of Love at First Sight, a moving photo exhibition featuring images captured by Seva Canada’s eye care patients in Tanzania, Nepal, and Peru — after their vision was restored.
This evening will include delicious appetizers and drinks, great company, and powerful stories made possible because of your support.
You’ll hear remarks from Liz Brant, Executive Director of Seva Canada; Dr. Robert Geneau, Executive Director of the Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology, and Michael Rapps, Board Member of Seva Canada about some of the patients we met during this project, and the extraordinary impact of Seva Canada’s donors.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
If a photo speaks 1,000 words, these speak 1,001. Love at First Sight is not a showcase of technical expertise in composition, light, or technique.
This exhibition features photos by our Tanzanian, Peruvian, and Nepali eye care patients after their sight was restored with cataract surgery or glasses.
Each photographer was handed a camera and asked to capture what they loved and missed seeing most.
These moving images celebrate universal human values and the simple pleasures of family, friends, and the beauty in our daily lives.
What do people want to see most when they regain their sight? Love at First Sight offers an intimate answer—through the eyes of former patients who captured what they missed most.
Proceeds from print sales will go directly toward providing sight-restoring care in underserved communities.
