Seeing is Believing



"Seeing is Believing" (registered charity number 1100559) is a collaboration between the International Association for the Prevention of Blindness and Standard Chartered Bank. Our younger son, Ben, works at the head office of Standard Chartered Bank in London and is very involved in the bank's fund raising for Seeing is Believing. The photo shows him and some of his work colleagues recently raising sponsorship money by running a strenuous course round the streets of London - he's the one third from the left, the guy second from the left is blind and is being guided by the others. Many of the people whose sight is saved by the charity live in Africa and Ben's work sometimes takes him there. Just today he returned from a business trip which took him to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
