To raise awareness of blindness issues among local kids, ORBIS Hong Kong hosted its second Creative Eye-Care Campaign in February 2010. In all, some 1,500 children from 16 kindergartens and primary schools demonstrated their compassion for the blind by joining the campaign and raised some HK$200,000 for ORBIS. With the help of parents, participating students showed their creativity by creating ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital-themed piggy banks.
