My experience in Mongolia with Orbis was so inspiring.
Hi Friend,
Have you had a chance to read the Orbis team's previous email?
If not, don’t worry! There’s still time to download a FREE and exclusive chapter featuring Orbis from my brand-new book, Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy, now a New York Times bestseller!
Join me as I recount the week I spent with the amazing Orbis eye care team as they saved sight in rural Mongolia. Their dedication and passion shine through, and I hope reading about their work inspires you as much as it inspired me.
Happy Reading,
Mary Roach
Author of Replaceable You, Stiff, Packing for Mars, and other books
Join us as she takes you on a compelling and witty adventure with the Orbis team in Mongolia, where she explores traditional Mongolian houses, called gers (often called yurts outside of Mongolia), becomes a big fan of kneecap soup, and observes a live cataract surgery!
Mary dedicates an entire chapter, titled “The Mongolian Eyeball,” to her travels with Orbis in one of the most remote places on earth.
Cataracts, which are the leading causes of blindness worldwide, can be corrected with surgery. But in places like Mongolia, access to eye care teams with the knowledge and proper surgical equipment are hard to come by.
Mary’s writing shines a light on the urgent need for eye care, while also capturing the compassion and commitment of Orbis team members dedicated to restoring sight for children and adults around the world.
