What: Lifeline Express is a charity dedicated to restoring the eyesight of rural mainlanders who suffer from curable blindness such as cataracts.
It operates three trains that are equipped with state-of-the-art eye surgery technology. The trains travel to remote areas of the mainland so that eye specialists can perform free surgery on cataract patients. At least two mainland eye doctors are trained in the latest surgical techniques during each trip.
Teen volunteer: James Chan, 17, worked for Lifeline Express during his summer holidays last year. He said it was one of the most memorable experiences of his life.
'A year ago, I visited cataract victims in mainland villages. I spent time with children who were blinded by cataracts.
There were so many memorable events during the trip that I can't recount them all, but going to the villages was a real eye-opener. You would never see such things in Hong Kong.
