Hello Jean. 

 

So good to hear from you again. 

 

We would be delighted to receive 500 pairs of  reading eyeglasses from Fondation Coup de Coeur to distribute in Zimbabwe. 

 

Last year when we travelled to Zimbabwe we partnered with the Rotary Club of Matopos and some Optometrists to hold 2 eye clinics in remote areas where people cannot travel to the cities to receive glasses. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for us as we are hoping to send another container this fall with hospital, school and community supplies. The glasses would definitely be very useful and life changing to many people in Zimbabwe. 

It would be best to send them to my address as I can oversee the distribution.

I hope this works for you. 

 

Thanks so much for thinking about our Club again and we look forward to working with you on this project.
