We welcome the New Lunar New Year, the year of the Wood Snake with excitement.

Our anticipation is growing as we begin plans for an Eye Clinic in the summer. This will benefit the Spiti farmers and their families in remote areas that don’t have the funds, or often time to get their eyes checked.

This will be an enormous help in the valley – many of us have experienced eye sight deterioration with age and know how frustrating it can be.

If you would like to help support the rural farmers please donate here.
