Help African Eye Institute by donating a pair of spectacles for children and youth in under-served communities.
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Through our Young Eyes in Focus project, children are undergoing vision screening and getting a donation of spectacles where needed. Ate, a school going student was a beneficiary of the project. Unknown to his family, Ate, had been struggling with poor vision, constant headaches and intermittent blurry vision and tearing. When asked why it took so long to complain to his teachers or parents, Ate, responded, “I thought that was how everyone sees, I only complained of headaches and teary eyes.” According to Ate, he had difficulties in reading print and could not see the blackboard. “I could hardly participate in class activities. This eye examination has really changed my life. If only we had known earlier – I would not have caused my parents so much unhappiness,” he added. He received a set of glasses which improved his vision drastically. Show your support for the cause by giving under-served children in need the gift of sight! For the price of just R230, you can subsidise a pair of spectacles for a child. If you can donate more – even better!
