Story

On the 19th November 2021, we will be travelling to Lebanon to volunteer our services as an Optometrist and Trainee Dispensing Optician to help complete the pilot project 'The Gift of Sight'

In October over 1200 refractions were completed and nearly 2000 glasses dispensed. We will be helping to complete the collection of the glasses and deliver dispensing and collection training to local Lebanese volunteers.

If you would like to donate to help cover the cost of helping to fit the glasses and provide cases, cloths and other glasses accessories please donate below! Thank you so much for your support!

Any additional funds raised will be used to support the Intensive Care/Maternity units at the only functioning hospital in the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon (Ain al-Hilweh)**Any gift aid will be allocated to the Jigsaw unrestricted fund**
