Simon has read Amy's article about ORBIS in the school newsletter and has become very interested. He finds another article about the history of ORBIS. Read it with him.

　In the past, eye doctors and nurses in poor countries could not study outside their own countries because they could not afford to traveland pay for their school fees. Dr David Paton was a famous eyedoctor in America. He knew that more than 60 per cent of blind people are in poor countries. It is important to train eye doctors and nurses in these poor countries to cure their patients. So in the mid-1970s, he set up ORBIS.

　United Airlines donated a DC-8 plane to ORBIS. There was newmedical equipment inside the plane. It is not an ordinary hospital.It is a flying eye hospital. The plane started to fly to different poor countries in 1982. The eye doctors and nurses on the plane taught the local doctors new skills and knowledge.They also did operations together to cure patients with eye problems in poor countries.

　In 1992, three generous people donated more money to ORBlS. With their donations, ORBIS bought a new plane, DC-1O. The inside of the plane is twice the size of DC-8. Its first trip was to go to Beijing,China in 1994.

　A lot of people suffer from blindness. The ORBIS doctors found that 80per cent of blindness in poor countries can be cured or prevented. So it also carries out special programmes to teach people how to preventeye problems.

　To blind people, ORBIS brings new hope and light. Over the past 30 years, ORBIS has successfully helped 130,000 people around the world. TO those who can see, ORBIS is something we can be proud of .
