Eye Hospital Fundraiser

This was for a fundraiser for an eye hospital, held in New York City. LRBT stands for Layton Rehmatullah Benevolent Trust which funds for several free hospitals in Pakistan.  The trust was founded in 1984 by two successful businessmen: the Late Graham Layton, an Englishman who become a Pakistani citizen and by the Late Zaka Rahmatulla. Upon his death, Graham Layton left his estate for the benefit of LRBT. The Spirit of LRBT was:
All treatment is totally free so that no man, woman or child becomes blind just because he/she cannot afford the treatment.- Treatment is appropriate, state-of-the-art. Charity should not mean second-rate treatment.- There is no discrimination due to gender, caste, ethnicity, language, religion or sect.- Patients are treated with compassion and dignity.


Today there is a nationwide network of 17 purpose-built hospitals, with state of the art equipment and 39 Community Eye-Health Centres/outreach clinics in all the 4 provinces of Pakistan. 

The cake was a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. I wanted to make something representative of the event in NYC with a pretty reference to the eye--- Eye of Horus in this case.
