Donating
your old glasses
"It
is a major public health failure that so many people continue
to be blind in both developing and developed countries because
they do not have the appropriate spectacles...."
- World Health Organisation, 1998.
Unfortunately,
many third world countries lack the resources and funding
to provide even the most basic eyecare. People of all ages
struggle through life, branded as 'blind' ,when all it would
take is one pair of glasses to alter there life forever.
