D&A – VAO Improving Eyecare in Ethiopia – Part 4
Day 1 – Existing Workshop Facilities – How Can We Make It Better
The team then went on to visit the building situated in a quiet part of the hospital grounds in which the remains of an optical workshop are still to be seen. It was the site of a workshop until about 6 years ago and some of the former machines remain. It has good electricity and water supply and although is a number of years old appears to be in good structural condition. The ceiling does show signs of some water damage and the walls are suffering from lack of regular maintenance. The project will provide a unit to transform the lives of ordinary people in the developing world.
"Sustainable Workshops are the future for providing spectacles in Ethiopia. There are so many people who need our help and by teaching Technicians to produce and dispense spectacles D&A/VAO will be making a huge difference", Richard Rawlinson, Franchisee at Brownhills Branch & VAO Member.
