In 1925 Helen Keller, a woman who had been blind and deaf since childhood, challenged Lions to become "Knights of the Blind" in a crusade against darkness. Lions accepted Helen’s challenge and there are now a number of programmes that Lions are involved with worldwide, particularly in third world countries.
If you have old spectacles lying around that you dont use they may be of use to others.
Useful items are labelled, packaged and passed on to Volunteer Ophthalmologist Services Overseas (VOSO) for distribution to those with poor eyesight in the Pacific Islands.
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. The project has provided over 80,000 pairs of glasses which would have a replacement value in excess of $15 million

The emphasis will be on how your dwelling has promoted or detracted from your own well-being in the 2020 COVID-19 lock-down period. Preference is towards those who spent the lock-down in Wellington City.
The first focus group is hoped to be held on the 10th of June (subject to change), with the second focus group around 4 weeks after. Participants will be awarded a $5 Coffee voucher on completion of a focus group. Snacks and drinks provided at the focus groups as well.
Please get in touch with me at roylanjasm@myvuw.ac.nz. Please feel free to forward this!
Thank you!

"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."
