Only 2 left until we start our next OneSight adventure in The Gambia

By lisab

 

Our team of Luxottica employees will soon be meeting in The Gambia for two weeks. We will be providing free exams and eyewear to help them see the beautiful world around them more clearly. We are very excited to be taking part in this particular mission as it is part of a new frontier for OneSight. This is OneSights second visit to The Gambia and we are working closely with the locals and our partners SightSavers International to establish an Eyecare clinic and train the locals to become self-sustaining in diagnosing and treating eye diseases as well as prescribing and fabricating eyeglasses in their new facility. Our goal is to provide eye exams and NEW glasses to 1500 patients.  We would love for you to join us.

 

We will be sharing our stories and posting pictures so be sure to log on daily so you don't miss a minute of the excitement. If you are interested our team is also raising money to help fund our clinic. Make your donation to our team today
