What is VISION of Global Health Club?
VISION stands for Vision Impairment Screening and Intervention for Optical Needs. As a chapter of Harvard College VISION, the VISION of Global Health club fundraises for cataract surgeries in developing countries through events such as homemade sticker sales, bake sales, sponsored local litter cleanups, car washes, and more! Last year, a portion of our money also went towards the study of immunology and vaccinations. During meetings, we plan fundraising events, discuss various global health challenges, and work on community health projects!

"During the 2020-2021 school year, we completed a health project at WHS, focusing on remote learning and how it affected the physical and mental health of students. Our project culminated in a wellness lesson that was virtually presented to all the physical education classes.
As a club, we attend Harvard VISION's annual Global Health and Leadership Conference, and last year, we placed second in the community pitch competition. We have also had members place first and third in the case study competition.
In three years, we have raised enough money for over 20 cataract surgeries!"
