Our Cause has been "Supercharged"

More than a month back, we entered a contest on Causes.com - "Supercharge My Project" wherein the winners would be helped by the Causes team to raise funds for the project. The project that we entered for the fundraising was titled “Right to Sight” which would restore eyesight to 300 poor people in Tripura through cataract surgery for only $25 per surgery. The project is being implemented by our partner NGO – Voluntary Health Association of Tripura (VHAT). Do have a look at our Causes page for a detailed description of the project.

We were overjoyed to learn that we were one of the winners of the "Supercharge My Project" contest along with 3 others. Over the last month, Susan Gordon from Causes.com has been helping us with various aspects of our fundraising campaign and we are all ready now to launch this campaign next week.

Along the way we held a Facebook Contest to increase membership to our Causes page and now have nearly ~2,500 members. While we set out to achieve much bigger numbers, we hope that all of you will continue to ask your friends to join our cause and donate towards this campaign.

We hope that you will support us to raise the entire $7,500 required to provide cataract surgery to 300 poor people of Tripura. VHAT sent us a short video on the work they do through their hospital which we are showcasing here.
