The work recognizes the dignity, value, and honor of those living with blindness and acknowledges that every community in the world is home to people who face curable eye diseases. Throughout my career in nonprofits, my passion has been serving vulnerable communities, and Orbis provides me the opportunity to continue that work as its leader of fundraising.”
