After heading the World Health Organization's successful ten year fight to eradicate small pox in South Asia, Dr. Larry Brilliant found himself still consumed with a desire to serve. Inspired by the optimism of WHO epidemiologist Dr. Nicole Grasset who "really believed that the 42 million blind people in the world didn't need to be blind," he and his wife Girija pulled out their eclectic rolodex -- drawing from the diverse realms of public health, spiritualism, technology, and the 1960's counterculture -- to create Seva Foundation. Over the past 35 years, Seva has enabled opthamologists working in 15 countries restore sight to 3 million patients who could not otherwise access or afford treatment.
