For children it is very important to be able to see well. Especially for the children in Uganda as they have no schoolbooks and have to copy texts from the blackboard. If they can’t read the text on the blackboard well, they will copy the text incorrectly in their notebooks and consequently they will learn the mistakes they made due to bad eyesight. That’s why we are very happy that the first glasses have been delivered to the children by Michael. He did the eye measurements and passed on his findings to Optometrist Te Kiefte in Dinxperlo ( Holland). They prepared the glasses and sent them to Uganda. We are glad that our eyecare project seems to work well and that bad eyesight will nolonger have a bad influence on the education of some children.
