GROWN: Seva Canada turns 30 years old!

Seva Canada is an international eye care charity which was developed in April 26th, 1982.  We at GROWN are proud to support the life-changing work they are performing.  Truly amazing!    
     Imagine being blind, never seeing your child's face. This was the case for a young Nepali mother blind from cataracts. Having heard of a Seva eye camp, her husband led her and their two youngest children, on a 10-day trek through the Himalayas to the Seva-sponsored eye camp where Dr. Spencer performed cataract surgery on both her eyes and restored her sight. "I will never forget the smile on her face, or the way she looked at her infant son," said Dr. Spencer. "You have given me divine eyes," the Nepali mother said to Dr. Spencer. 
    This is just one of the over 3 million stories which SEVA Canada has made possible due to their ongoing and righteous work.  We look forward to seeing them grow over the coming years and wish them a Happy Birthday!
Drop them a line and show your support!
