Eyes for Brazil
According to the World Health Organization, 284 million people worldwide suffer from poor vision simply because they do not have access to or cannot afford care. In some countries, a pair of eyewear costs more than a month’s salary. Poor vision negatively impacts a child’s ability to learn in school and robs an adult of independence, mobility and quality of life. (onesight.org)
Many people across the globe cannot see clearly because they do not have the money to purchase new eyeglasses. The National Junior Beta Club at HCA is trying to change that situation. We are collecting old glasses to give to a Lens Crafters representative to take to Brazil.
Help support our mission, entitled Eyes for Brazil, by giving your used glasses to any member of the National Junior Beta Club today! To learn more, visit www.onesight.org.
