The efforts of one person, even a young one, can make a difference in the lives and health of hundreds of others. Rasika Rajagopalan, a high school student in Durham, N.C., tells her story of organizing a community service project that started with a violin recital. Project Spirit Sight raised donations of both money and used eyeglasses to help with eye camps in two rural villages around Tiruvannamalai, India. Rasika and her mother traveled to these villages to assist Aravind Eye Hospital and local volunteer organizations in spreading the word and bringing people to the free clinics to receive treatment.
Great work! As you said at the end, "Every drop counts"!
