Dear Fred Hollows - Aleenah

 The Impact of Fred Hollows

Australian-Kiwi man Fred Hollows lived the life changing the lifestyles of others through his skill as an ophthalmologist. This remarkable story of his has been expressed by me in this poem I wrote about his accomplishments and how much he provided to this world. When reading it, have look and find a little quote he said in on the phrases. Hint: The words are the first words for each phrase near the ending bit.

  1. Aleenah, your poem has tells us so much about the sort of man Fred Hollows was - his selfless work because he believed that everyone had the right to see the world.
    I admire the way your piece paints of a picture of this great man through the descriptive vocabulary and expressive phrasing and structure - Ka Pai!

  2. Kia ora Aleenah,
    your words recognise the work of Fred Hollows especially his efforts to help people in countries where they otherwise may not have had better access to eye health. I particularly like the way your poem is written like a thank you letter, this makes it feel more personal.
