Jim and I have been collecting eye glasses. Do any of you know who we could contact that could get them to the people who need them? Any eye Dr's in T.B.?

If you do this be certain the doctor will distribute them for free. We obtained eyeglasses from an eye doctor for someone, and he attempted to sell them when he had received them for nothing. (I am not talking about the cost of the exam.) In the U.S., this is done through Lions Club members, but I am not sure how it is done in Jamaica. Eyeglass frames without the lenses are also useful. (There is a Lions Club in Mandeville.)

Jim-Donna, This is a great idea! Maybe a local church would be able to help distribute? Bless.
