Free Vision Program Brings Life Into Focus For Students

** OGTV commemorates National Eye Exam Month with this story about a group that is making sure that vision exams and eyeware are made available, for free, to at-risk kids. **

Helen Keller International (HKI) recognizes that eyeglasses are as essential to learning as pen, paper and books. Their innovative ChildSight® program serves at-risk children living in urban and rural poverty in five states across the country by offering free vision screenings and eyeglasses to "bring education into focus™".

New York Program Manager Tanya Daniels loves to see how new glasses can boost the confidence and self esteem of the Middle School and High School students across the city. "My favorite part of the job is Dispensing Day", she noted. "This is the day when the students receive their eyeglasses and they are so excited to see everything around the room."

ChildSight® overcomes the two biggest barriers to childhood vision care: prohibitive cost and limited access. This is a game changer for students who were struggling with a physical limitation to now have the capability to reach their full potential.

Watch to see the smiling faces of the children that HKI's ChildSight NY program helps when they discover what it's like to see the world around them more clearly.

This video was produced by students of Pace University's Digital Video Field Production class under the direction of Dr. Maria Luskay, Professor. This class is part of the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences Master of Arts in Media and Communication Arts program. The class was put into production teams to produce videos for HooplaHa as part of their curriculum. This is the second year HooplaHa and Pace has produced videos together. The producers of this video were Shari Bissoondatt, Marilena Coletto, Sashel Marquis-Wedderburn, Jhennifer Moises and Katherine Spina.

Blind Waiter Serves Up Diner Classics and Life Lessons

** As we wind down to the final days of this difficult year, OGTV is tipping our hat to all of the essential workers on the front lines with this uplifting story about a New Jersey man who has found a way to do this difficult job for years, even without his eyesight! **

The flickering neon sign reflects eerily off the aging, chrome exterior; a long smooth marble counter with spinning stools draws your gaze left and right as you enter; the checkered linoleum floor seeps under the rows of back-to-back leather booths enveloped by the rain streaked wrap-around windows. You may think you've entered a typical American roadside eatery, but your experience here will be anything but ordinary.

You have just stepped into the Bendix Diner, a staple in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey since the 1940's. It's no surprise that The Bendix can serve up a sizzling Burger with deep fried onion rings and a frothy chocolate shake. What is unique about this meal is the waiter who delivers it to your table – his name is John Diakakis, and he is blind.
