The Request:

From: Greg Peddle, Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest, Newfoundland, Canada
To: Jean Gagnon, Coup de Cœur Foundation, Montreal, QC, Canada

Hello Jean,

It’s such a pleasure to hear from you again!

We would be delighted to receive 300 pairs of reading glasses from the Coup de Cœur Foundation to distribute in Zimbabwe.

During our visit to Zimbabwe last year, we worked hand in hand with the Rotary Club of Matopos and a team of optometrists to set up two vision clinics in remote rural areas where people have no access to optical care.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to continue that effort. We’re planning to send another humanitarian container this fall, filled with supplies for hospitals, schools, and local communities.
The glasses would make a real difference and truly improve the lives of many individuals in Zimbabwe.

As was the case last time, the easiest way would be to send them directly to my home address so that I can coordinate their distribution.

I hope this arrangement works for you.

Thank you once again for thinking of our club and for continuing this meaningful partnership.
We look forward to collaborating with you again on this inspiring project.

With warm Rotary regards,

Greg Peddle
