ORBIS HOSPITAL!!! 

Just about the coolest hospital I ever did see. This flying medical facility was created in 1980 with the purpose of providing care to blind or visually impaired individuals in the developing world whose medical facilities don't have the level of care needed to treat people in their country. It's a world tour people! And everyone's feeling better.

The first time ORBIS went into air was in 1982 and since people from Cameroon to the Central African Republic have been receiving eye care for ailments such as glaucoma, blindness, and much more!

Now everyone can receive treatment thanks to Dr. David Paton who created ORBIS in 1980  to deliver medical supplies. Now eyecare is the focus as ORBIS. In fact, in Cameroon 25% of people needing cataract surgery are able to get treated...AWESOME!!

The services are available for children but adults can get treated too!

So next time you look up in the sky, it might not be Virgin Airlines but the most forward thinking ophthalmology facility you've heard of!

What's going on?!!

Did something happen to my moral compass? Or did i just see another air drop of relief supplies to Hatians? This time, the American military dropped supplies through a parachute, last time a helicopter from a source that wasn't confirmed dropped supplies. Why would they throw supplies to them from the air? Is it entertaining to them to see Hatians scattering and fighting for food? I hope it's not. If my memory serves me correctly, soldiers are trained to jump in parachutes. Soldiers are trained to climb ladders from helicopters. Why couldn't groups of People pass supplies to People? If this is done systematically and often, then maybe, just maybe people won't be so desperate for supplies that they're fighting eachother or aid workers. It's just a thought. What do you think?
