How Kiwi generosity is helping fund life-changing eye surgeries in the Pacific

Bloody beautiful, this. Good on Fred Hollows and all the Kiwis donating. Shame our government can't sort out the health system here though.

Great, but what about the waiting lists for eye surgeries here? We're sending our tax dollars overseas while grannies go blind in South Auckland.

ffs can we just appreciate something good for once? 100k surgeries is massive. Not everything has to be a govt roast.

Honest question - how much of the donation actually goes to surgeries vs admin? These charities always have fine print.
