Photo Credit: Harpreet Singh / UnsplashThanks to an ongoing solidarity campaign in Murcia, 227 pairs of prescription glasses and sunglasses collected from local residents are heading to Senegal this September to restore vision for individuals with limited access to eye care. Glasses that once were lying forgotten in a drawer of residents in Murcia will now grant clear vision to people in need in the African country. This meticulous work ensures that, when medical teams arrive in M’Bour, Senegal, each recipient is matched with the exact prescription they need. Residents who have spare, undamaged prescription glasses or sunglasses can drop them off at the central offices of Aguas de Murcia to help support future humanitarian expeditions abroad.
