“Coming from the bottom tier of #Nepali society and now being able to take Nepal to the international community, I feel really privileged”. Dr. Sanduk Ruit is a rockstar in his field. Some even thought he was mad. #SandukRuit #FredHollows #EyeSurgeon sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/nepa…
Timothy was behind at school, feeling alone. After eye surgery, he was high-fiving his dad and playing football. SEE the #change hollows.org/au/tax-appeal via @FredHollows #FredMoments

This year's Reconciliation Week theme is so important - #DontKeepHistoryaMystery. As part of that, with @NFSAonline’s help, @fredhollows has put the story of Fred's 1970s eye health trip to remote Australia on YouTube at: youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Oku7sL… #NRW2018

Fred Hollows himself knew how important it was to 'teach the #teachers'. That's why I'm so proud one of the highlights of our latest results is the #training of more than 100,000 people in a year for the first time. Read the details in our annual report at bit.ly/FHFannualreport2017

It’s an honour to release the first annual report and global #results in my time as CEO of @fredhollows. Helping to provide treatments for more than one million people for the second year running is a great achievement. See more at bit.ly/FHFannualreport2017

BREAKING: Government will reduce aid to its lowest level ever to just 19c in every $100 of GNI by 2021.
We need leadership on aid and inequality.

If we want a safer Asia Pacific region, we should care more about getting girls into school than getting guns into the world.

Instead of taking real action on climate change, the government will give billions in subsidies to big polluters putting people in poverty at greater risk of extreme weather.

Companies get a tax cut, but the world’s poorest get a funding cut. That’s less for education, health and sanitation in developing countries. Australia is failing to pull its weight in aid spending. #budget2018 #auspol

"The most persecuted and unloved people on earth" says the @UN about the Rohingya. On top of that, some 50,000 people in the fastest-growing #refugee camp are needlessly #blind. With your help, one by one, we're doing something about it, as @RayMartin describes on @abc730 tonight teapawt.net/abc730/status/98868327…
Special guest reporter @RayMartin explains what it was like taking photos of "the most unloved people in the world" in a #Rohingya refugee camp in #Bangladesh. Don’t miss Ray’s report on #abc730 tonight about the work @FredHollows Foundation is doing in the camp

Did you know women are 1.3 times more likely to be blind than men & twice as likely to be blinded by trachoma? We believe all forms of inequality in eye care for #women and girls need to be eliminated. That's why we launch a #Gender Fund called She Sees: hollows.org/shesees
