Hey Convention attendees – do you have some old eyeglasses you’re no longer using? Bring them to Convention and donate them to Rayjon!
The OPSEU/SEFPO Social Justice Fund Board will have a donation box available at the Silent Auction table for your donated glasses.
Your glasses will be given to Rayjon, a not-for-profit organization that works in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, in partnership with local communities, to create lasting change through community initiatives.
Rayjon’s Eyeglass Program provides vision correction for those unable to obtain either the examination or the eyeglasses they need, at clinics organized every year in countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Your used eyeglasses will be washed, inspected, the lens prescription read, and then distributed by volunteer teams that include optometrists, other eye care professionals, and support staff.
