🎉 The Foundation had its 3th #birthday on the weekend and we got a letter from Australia's PM @AlboMP. "For 30 years, The Fred Hollows Foundation's made real Fred's determination to leave no one behind," he reflected. Thanks to the PM for his great words on #30YearsOfSight.

#ICYMI: 🤗 World Humanist Day yesterday reminded us of Fred saying "having a care and concern for others is the highest of human qualities." 🎯 He wrote that in 1991 and it's still central to our work. 💪 You can support Fred's work at #30YearsOfSight
