Van suffers from severe “cross-eyes”, but will soon have corrective surgery thanks to some American students he doesn’t know, and to the goodwill of the Armenian Eye Care Project.

Children in California helped sponsor examinations for children in ArmeniaLearning about the Adopt-A-Village program of AECP, Mariam Samonyantz, a teacher at Mesropyan school in Pico Rivera, California encouraged her 9th grade pupils to take part in the program.

For three months the pupils saved their allowances - including some lunch money – and donated it to AECP toward getting free eye tests for Armenian children.

The Adopt-A-Village program invites donors to sponsor the screening and treatment of residents of a specific region or village in Armenia.

Donors can choose a village that has special meaning to them, or – like Mariam Samoniantz and her class – they can select a school.

"The class realizes tha...

Bill Janis, R-Henrico, brought HB1274, a bill that would require doctors who saw patients with post-abortion complications to report the patient information to the state.

Janis said the data would help inform the public debate over the safety of abortion clinics, and reduce “fear mongering” by either side.

But opponents said the information was so extensive that it could be used to identify abortion patients in less-populated areas.

Both abortion bills failed on a 6-9 vote.

Florida Atlantic pitcher Meghan Doonan has first-hand experience all because of a freak accident, an accident that could have very well changed the way she looks at life.

While bending down to pick up tennis balls during a hitting drill in February of 2002 in Connecticut, Doonan was hit with a line drive in her right eye.

She immediately lost vision and was taken to the hospital where a doctor informed her that it was just bruised.
