The winners With Bruce Poon Tip
Gap Adventures and e11even Productions is proud to announce the winners of Love In Action 2010 - Team Love At First Sight! The passion, dedication and excitement generated by the team for the cause was exceptionally reflected in their fundraising campaign. Jenna, Jocelin and Elizabeth created over six different unique events and projects to raise awareness and funds for eyesight restoration camps in Tibet - be sure to watch their video! The team will be heading to Peru later this year to explore the incredible sights of the country and to spend time volunteering with a local Planeterra project, and blogging about their experiences along the way. Congratulations to the team and thank you for putting your Love In Action!

Seva Canada is an international non-governmental organization whose mission is the elimination of preventable and treatable blindness. Seva Canada Society was founded in 1982 to eliminate preventable blindness and restore sight. Seva provides funding and expertise to partners in 7 developing countries: Nepal, Tibet, India, Tanzania, Guatemala, Cambodia and Egypt - to deliver community and clinical eye care programs that reach the most vulnerable populations – women and children, the very poor and those living in rural areas. Seva (pronounced say-va) is a Sanskrit word for service; we believe in compassion in action. Through our partners, Seva is creating sustainable, economically viable, locally managed eye care programs that will continue to serve local populations long after Seva’s involvement is complete.
