Free Vision Program Brings Life Into Focus For Students

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.

Farm Becomes Sanctuary for Animals After Tragedy

** Watch this OGTV "GOOD STORY" about a farm in Texas that was flooded during Hurricane Harvey. Somehow the animals found a way to survive and have inspired the owners to convert the farm into a rescue sanctuary. **

The impetus for the creation of the Ima Survivor Animal Sanctuary was the awful week in August 2017 when Hurricane Harvey meandered about southeast Texas unleashing biblical amounts of rain and wreaking havoc on the people and animals who lived there. The survival of a donkey named Ima Jean from 6 foot flood waters, her struggle to live and the fight to survive by her and the other animals from Lester Morrow's ranch is the inspiration for this unique habitat.

Using Music and Art to Build Friendships on the Border

** OGTV celebrates World Art Day with a heartwarming story about a small town on the US-Mexico border where a teacher shares her love of music and art to help bring kids and communities together. **

In a small, brightly decorated building only a stone's throw from the border wall between Mexico and the USA, 50 to 100 children a week come to do hands-on art projects, learn a musical instrument, or just socialize with others. In this special place, Director Gretchen Baer's mission is to show kids that anything is possible if you think creatively, no matter who you are or where you came from.

Nonprofit Studio Mariposa is a free transformative art center for kids in Naco, Mexico, along the Arizona border. For the past three years, kids come to the small studio once a week where Gretchen and her volunteers set up art projects and music lessons. The art projects include painting, making bracelets, mosaics and weaving on a loom.
