This year an 18-member team led by young celebrity Stephy Tang joined the sight-saving trip in Bangladesh.

During their visit from July 23 to 26, the team visited Orbis supported sight saving activities in Khulna and Dhaka. They have experienced Orbis' frontline work in hospitals, surgery observations and participated in community eye screening programmes and took interviews of doctors and patients.

On returning to Hong Kong, the visitors said they will share their experiences of the sight-saving trip with their classmates, friends and families and organise various activities to raise public concerns on sight-related problems in the world.
