ORBIS and Merrill Lynch are joining forces for consecutively six years to help cure preventable blindness. ORBIS's emphasis on sharing sight saving techniques with eye care professionals in developing countries is aligned with Merrill Lynch's focus on providing education opportunities to the disadvantaged worldwide. Merrill Lynch remains committed to the communities where its employees work and live. Since 2000, the firm has helped to raise over HK$ 7.8 million as the primary corporate sponsor for the 'Walk for Sight' event in Hong Kong. Together, ORBIS and Merrill Lynch are striving hard to ensure that thousands of blind people in China will be able to see their dreams come true.
