The ANGUILLA LIONS CLUB would like to thank the Anguillian community for supporting our Lions Recycle for Sight used eyeglasses collection program. Throughout the year, we collected 139 pairs of used eyeglasses and sunglasses for those in need in developing countries.
The donated used eyeglasses will be sent to our regional eyeglass recycling center inNew Jerseywhere they will be cleaned, sorted by prescription and prepared for distribution by Lions and other groups.
By taking the time to give us your used eyeglasses, you have helped to improve the life of someone in need. In most developing nations, eye care is either unaffordable or inaccessible. For many, poor eyesight that is left uncorrected can lead to unemployment for adults, a child’s inability to attend school and blindness.
The ANGUILLA LIONS CLUB would also like to express our appreciation to the locations such as LAKES MARKETPLACE, J W PROCTORS SUPERMARKET, ASHLEY & SONS SUPERMARKET AND BEST BUY SUPERMARKET for contributing to the project’s success by serving as convenient drop-off centers. We look forward to your continued assistance.
People who did not get the chance to donate their glasses but would still like to, or those interested in learning more about other ANGUILLA Lions Club activities, can call OUR INCOMING PRESIDENT LION CIVILLA KENTISH ON 264 772 1760. Thanks again for sharing our vision of helping others to see.
Sincerely,
LION CELESTINE JOHN
Immediate Past President
