Eyes on Africa, once again generously donated 12 dozen pairs of eyeglasses of various magnifications which we distribute at the clinic. We also take them on our mobile missions. The women at Foudouk are particularly in need of them because they do so much fine embroidery work. Linda Lamb, Rene Briggs and Linda Taylor took charge of this project and were able to distribute all but 2 dozen pair.

Thanks so much to Sherry Grigsby of Eyes on Africa for your continued support. Each trip we are able to provide most of the people who need glasses with the ability to continue to work and read after their eyes deteriorate.

that blurry is they way it is…
Sherry EVERYONE always said thank you, thank you! Rene, Linda, and I could always tell by looking into there faces when they actually had a good fit—because they could see. 🙂 🙂
