2012 marks ORBIS' 30th anniversary of saving sight. Over the years, we have transformed millions of blind people's lives. Among them was an 11-year-old Inner Mongolian boy called Zhang Tianshan. In 2009, ORBIS found and successfully treated Tianshan's congenital strabismus and amplyopia (Read more). Three years on, this cheerful and optimistic teenager will be visiting us in Hong Kong this October!

We warmly invite all children in Hong Kong to join our 2012 ORBIS "Draw for Sight" Contest and unleash their artistic talent and love by sharing the joy of sight with Tianshan! Our six winners will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent kids all over Hong Kong by personally presenting Tianshan with their drawings and blessings. Each winner and one of his/her parents will also enjoy a fun-filled day out with Tianshan at Hong Kong Disneyland!
