Vision 2020 by the year 2020

The title is not about the dream of former president APJ Abdul Kalam but the goal of Sankara Eye Foundation. This was also the mantra of all SEF volunteers at the 10th anniversry meeting conducted on February 23, 2008 in Sunnyvale, California.

"Vision 2020 by the year 2020" was the key phrase repeated by every person at the Sankara Eye Foundation's (SEF) 10th year anniversary volunteer meeting. The mission, vision and objective of California-based SEF is to eradicate curable blindness in India by the year 2020. By rough estimates India hosts the world's largest population of visually challenged individuals (about 20 million) and most of these people suffer from a curable form of blindness.

Founded in the year 1998, SEF has been striving hard to raise funds in US so that its India wing can establish state-of-the-art hospitals to provide free eyecare to underprivileged people. The organisation's rationale is simple every contribution of $30 provides the "gift of vision" to one person. In short it takes only $30 to perform one sight rectification operation in India. Working in this direction SEF has given this gift to over 57,000 underprivileged Indians in 2007. The lofty aim of SEF is to establish 20 FREE EYE CARE centers across the country and conduct over 1.2 million eye surgeries annully by the year 2020.

The volunteer meeting conducted at the well appointed TIE (The Indus Entrepreneur) conference hall was a success by every scale. Over 200 volunteers, including 35 from outside Bay Area (California), converged at the venue. Each bubbling with enthusiasm, equipped by vision, energy and determination to contribute their energies and talent for the benefit of the millions of underprivileged citizens. The initial sessions focussed on the achievements of SEF during the past decade with a strong emphasis on the future goals.

"Our success has been driven by four major factors: providing vision is a great cause, committed volunteer force, honesty and integrity in our operations," said Murli Krishnmurthy, founder of SEF-USA. Other board members of SEF and numerous volunteers shared their experiences of working with SEF and what they feel about the cause. Positive energy exuded out of each and every volunteer present and everybody pledged their bit to achieving SEF's goal: "Vision 2020 by the year 2020".
