Retina South Africa is a non-profit organisation dedicated to finding the cause of, and treatment for, retinal degenerative disorders. While aggressively promoting research to resolve the problem, they also aim to do as much as possible to assist sufferers in coping with their condition.
Varsity College students had a great time with Gail Cillie and her guide dog Toga getting in "Minute to Win It" spirit, raising awareness about Eye Care through attempting various challenges while being blindfolded. These activities were staged as a build up to an exhibition that will be taking place on campus on Thursday the 22nd of September 2011, where free screenings will be done for students.
