👀 Sometimes you just got to admit you believe in fate, the universe or whatever you want to call it 👀 Here is a little magical story for your first day back ✨ ☕️ Ian and I started working together in about 2020, and in our 3rd week of working together he told me (unprompted for some reason) that his life goal was to be rich enough to open an eye hospital for those in need..🏥 I mumbled something encouraging and then decided to stay away from the crazy guy with a Scottish accent (😏) 🗓️ Cue 2022 when we start getting to know Saddaqat Khan a little better, and he humbly reveals the charity him and his wonderful wife have set up to help those in need of eye care Sight Relief ❤️ What are the chances, Ian gets close with of all people, someone who runs an eye charity? 🏃♂️Fast forward to this week. My incredible, wonderful business partner is out in Pakistan helping people and doing his dream work (with his dream girl Ronya Naim ) I have asked Ian so many times, what is is like and he has described it as heartbreaking, heartwarming, life changing and one of the most beautiful country and people he has ever been to. To learn more about sight relief, please go to their LinkedIn, or drop me a message and I can intro you to Saddaqat Khan https://lnkd.in/eP8aaMmY (Link for donations) Please like and share if you can ❤️

Ian Christie is a absolute legend, this really hits home, my grandad went blind at a time when Pakistan didn’t have the medical means or understanding of eye care (nor at the time, did my family have the money to afford any further tests). It’s the help from people like Ian that gives the chance to people to something we take for granted, sight! Thanks Ian and thank you Jessica Hamilton (née Hodson) for sharing.

This is incredible work. Its easy to lose 'sight' of whats important in this world, everything we read and hear is what you can do for yourself...self promotion, chasing fame and money... Better questions are: What's your legacy? How can you make a difference to OTHERS? Please share the donating link. Mark

3moJessica Hamilton (née Hodson) your dedication to raising awareness for our charity has truly made a difference. Thanks to supporters like you and volunteers like Ian Christie and Ronya Naim we can maintain our vital eye care services for communities in need. Ian and Ronya’s tireless efforts and selflessness have impacted the lives of many. From dispensing glasses and eye drops to learning some Urdu, embracing the culture, travelling on some challenging roads in the mountains, their commitment knows no bounds. Words cannot express our gratitude for their invaluable contributions. Together with Saddaqat Khan, Ian and Ronya we have seen 1500 patients in this trip. So proud of them.
