Title: Dear HN,<p>Is there a better way to start a year than with acts of generosity?<p>Recently, I learned about the Seva Foundation, which counts Larry Brilliant, Ram Dass and Steve Jobs among its founders. The foundation&#x27;s mission is to <i>&quot;build sustainable eye care systems worldwide by creating equitable access to eye care, building capacity of new and existing eye hospitals and systems, and collecting and learning from evidence.&quot;</i><p>I perused their website, and was taken aback by how common it is in many parts of the world for scores of people to suffer from vision impairment due to cataracts - a condition that can be easily cured with a simple surgery that costs 50$ to carry out.<p>It is a powerful reminder of the stark inequalities that exist in the world. I feel grateful that there are people like the Seva Foundation, who are doing something about it.<p>You can learn more about the foundation and donate to the cause at:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.seva.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.seva.org&#x2F;</a><p>P.S. I am not affiliated with the Seva Foundation, I just found them to be a genuinely great organization and wanted to spread the word.
