How schools can help: Schools which teach Global Eye may wish to help Vision Aid Overseas and here are a few ways that they can do so:

  · Raise funds  - we are always in need of money

  · Collect old spectacles  -  see the page of this website on Spectacle Recycling

  · Show the Vision Aid Overseas DVD throughout the school and tell everyone about our work.
