Rotary Specs for Developing Countries

New Forest Rotary Club has collected numerous unwanted spectacles, to help people in developing countries, where children can’t thrive in education or adults get work if they can’t see properly.

The specs go to Vision Aid Overseas, a charity which has Vision Centres in Sierra Leone, Gambia, Ghana, Ethiopia and elsewhere. The Centres are locally based, provide eye tests, specs, and specialist eye care. The aim is to make them self sufficient , by providing the right resources including training and optical equipment.

The collection was part of Rotary’s international effort and is a simple but effective way of helping.

A large box packed with specs was presented by Rotarian Mike Clarke to Emma, an optical assistant, at Kelly Eyecare of Brockenhurst , who very kindly act as a collection centre for forwarding specs to Vision Aid.
