Last year, we launched the “Love at First Sight” campaign, featuring beautiful photography captured by Nepali eye patients after their sight was restored through glasses or cataract surgery. The images told the powerful stories of the people and moments they had missed most—now brought into clear focus following treatment made possible by you.
We equipped Nepali eye patients with cameras once they were back at home. They received training on how to use the cameras and documented heartfelt glimpses of their world— families, friends, pets, homes, and even birds soaring through the sky.
Building on this idea, we recently invited our Tanzanian patients to do the same and take photos of what they love and can now see clearly again.
To celebrate their happiness and to see the world through their eyes, we hosted a free photo exhibition at the Pendulum Gallery in downtown Vancouver, where everyone was welcome to visit the gallery with friends and family to celebrate the joy of seeing again, made possible by the Seva Canada community.
