Text for the postcard:

Imagine not being able to see the sun's light, the blue sky, or the road home. That is the reality for people with #onchocerciasis, a #neglecteddisease that causes skin and eye lesions that, if not treated in time, can cause #blindness #LatinAmerica is a world example in the fight against this disease. #Colombia, #Ecuador, #Guatemala, and #Mexico have already eliminated #onchocerciasis, also known as #riverblindness. The #yanomami territory in #Brazil and #Venezuela is the last stronghold for eliminating this disease in the region.
