 According
to the World Health Organization, approximately 25 percent of the world's
population needs eyeglasses. Globally, one child in four cannot see well
enough to learn to read without glasses. Unfortunately, for many, a pair of
glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible. People in some developing
countries have been known to walk miles and miles to get the free
eyeglasses.
Calabasas residents can help a person in need by donating glasses that
are no longer in use. Eyeglasses received are sorted, cleaned, categorized,
bagged, and boxed by the International Lions Club in preparation for
shipment to developing countries.
Donated eyeglasses may be placed in the collection box at the Calabasas
City Hall (map)
