HELP US TO PROVIDE EYE TESTS AND GLASSES TO THE RURAL FAMILIES IN THE VILLAGES OF THE SPITI VALLEY.
As some of you may know already know, Spiti Projects has built a community centre in Kaza, the capital of the valley for which we received the UN Climate Change Award. In the centre, there is a room set aside specifically for use as an eye clinic/opticians named The Maynes Rotary Eye Vision Centre Kaza. This is managed by The Rotary Eye Hospital in Palampur, Himachel Pradesh, North India.
Through our appeal we want to give the rural families - mostly subsistence farmers the opportunity to receive basic eye tests and to purchase reasonably priced specs. We believe that this will make a huge difference, making their day to day lives easier, preventing headaches, future eye problems and enjoy to life a little more.
Following the eye test, people can then purchase 'off the shelf' specs at an economical cost.
We would love it if you could kindly support our appeal by donating any amount from £5 to £200. This would be very much appreciated by all those in the valley who can no longer see the small print - like so many of us of a certain age
Joullay (a Tibetan greeting!)
