Director Statement

I am very passionate about covering and bringing to light, the social issues. Issues that affect people on a day-to-day basis.

I was not very knowledgeable about cataract, which is why I got interested in this project. I think cataract brings with it, huge social and emotional burden on kids who suffer from it.

It is mostly lack of awareness on the part of adults because of which kids suffer. Help create awareness about cataract in kids. Guide someone who is poor and dependent and get their kids checked. Help people move in the right direction.
