Step 1 Presenting
What international charities do you know about?
What do they do?
Have you heard of ORBIS?
ORBIS helps blind people in poor countries. The state of being blind is called blindness. Why does ORBIS help the blind patients? Because blindness affects many people around the world, mostly in poor countries. But most of the cases of blindness can be prevented or cured. Why don’t the blind go to see doctors? Because they are so poor that they can’t pay for medical treatment. ORBIS doctors treat them for free. They operate on/do (perform) operations on their patients. So the patients are thankful /grateful to them. How do you think ORBIS doctors feel when they help people? (They feel proud.)
