Glasses for the Children in Milagros – Better Vision for a Positive Future 🧡
Since last year, we’ve been working with the organization @saludalaescuela to improve visual health in rural communities. In early February, the team visited Milagros to carry out eye examinations with the children 👓
For all of them, it was the first time their eyes had been professionally checked, as access and financial resources had been lacking until now.
To start the day, there was a small workshop for children and parents💡📚
It focused on how to handle glasses properly, why good vision makes everyday life, especially learning, easier, and how we can work together to ensure children who wear glasses aren’t excluded. The Salud a la Escuela team also used the workshop to inform parents about what we’re doing with the children and to reassure them that the kids won’t feel any pain or discomfort. They were invited to accompany their children and observe the eye examination.
By the end of the day, it became clear that eight children and two teachers will need glasses – some just for school, others permanently.
We’re very grateful to have been able to fund this project and provide the glasses together with Salud a la Escuela. Every pair now being worn makes the school day a little easier! 🌞
