Today we received 4 boxes containing 830 eyeglass frames from OGI Canada Inc.
This generous donation will be sent to the eastern African countries of Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi and Madagascar where there is little or no access to children’s glasses. They will be used as part of Seva's childhood blindness programs.
Seva Canada and our partner in Africa, the Kilimanjaro Center for Community Ophthalmology, are extremely grateful to OGI Canada Inc. for their years of support in providing quality eyeglasses for children in eastern Africa. Over the last two years, OGI has donated 2,587 frames to Seva with a value of over $50,000.
Here is a short video that acknowledges and thanks all those wonderful Seva supporters who have donated glasses and low vision devices, as well as shipping, for the pediatric eye care programs in eastern Africa.
It's Week 37 in our Random Acts of Seva campaign to count down to our 30th Anniversary of restoring sight and preventing blindness. See more Random Acts of Seva.
