Start an Eyeglass Drive
-----------------------

Dear all,

A simple eyeglass drive can change lives internationally. More
than 1 billion people in developing countries need eyeglasses
but cannot afford them, while there are more than 4 million
pairs of eyeglasses disposed of annually in North America. If
you are interested in starting a "Unite For Sight Eyeglass
Drive", mailto:JStaple@uniteforsight.org

The process is very simple: place a Rubbermaid bin with Unite
for Sight posters in libraries, University Centers, and eye doc-
tor offices. All of the eyeglasses that you collect will be pre-
scribed by 'Unite For Sight' volunteers in Tanzania, Uganda,
Ghana, Benin, Somalia, Cameroon, Malawi, Thailand and India. Ad-
ditional information is at: http://www.uniteforsight.org


Sincerely,
Jennifer Staple
Founder, President & CEO
