Fred Hollows Foundation in Eritrea

Fred Hollows spent the last years of his life working to restore sight in Eritrea, Africa. It was a country close to Fred's heart and The Fred Hollows Foundation is proud to be carrying on his work. This video tells the story of three year old Zeineb, who was born with cataracts in both eyes. Thanks to the work of local doctors and donations given to The Fred Hollows Foundation, Zeineb's life has been changed forever. Please visit http://www.hollows.org.au to find out more. Just $25 can restore sight.
