Lions New Zealand identified a need for spectacles to aid people in the Pacific Islands.
As a result The Lions Club of Kapiti has a spectacle recycling project and they are continually looking for used glasses that can be used in this project.
Do you have any old glasses that you wish to pass on?
Useful items are passed on to Volunteer Ophthalmologist Services Overseas (VOSO) for distribution to those with poor eyesight in the Pacific Islands.
They are then sorted, checked for cracks and scratches before being washed in an ultrasonic washer and dried. They then have their prescription recorded and are packed for delivery.
VOSO consists of teams of eye surgeons, optometrists and eye care workers who visit the isolated communities and bring enhancement to the lives of hundreds of people annually.
If you have any old glasses that you would like to donate to this cause please contact andthel@outlook.com
Call Jim @ 021999700.Waikanae.For further details.

I recently rescued a tiny baby hedgehog 🦔from the middle of the road (lost its mum) and it’s outgrowing it’s box fast. Can’t release it until it’s 800g , (at 350g) but want to give it a bigger enclosure and move it outside for its own enrichment . Any loan of a hutch would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks guys 😊.
