I have been travelling for few years, seeing, exploring and experiencing activities and great landscapes. Recently, I have felt lucky that I could travel while I am still young. I found a video that created by Samsung about enabling others seeing with their product. This video helped me to me realize that there are a lot of people in the world still suffering vision problems and fighting to see.
For that reason, I have decided to be part of the charity campaign called "Inspire Travel Young" "Enabling Other Seeing" to help other seeing especially for those that still fighting for their vision. Seeing is Believing is a non profit organization doing a great job by helping other to see.
People that live in the poorer countries have difficulty accessing eye-care and prevention programs due to financial constraints. As well, vision care is not always given the attention it deserves. Statistically, 80% of blindness is avoidable, and 60% of children die within a year of going blind, that's one of the strong reason why we should support this charity campaign.
Joining me are 3 others travellers with different backgrounds, May is a social developer, See yuen is a mother, and Amornched is a software engineer.
