Mambo,
Hello everyone, hope you are all well. I've had a busy week this week. We had our first tour of the centre this week. We were visited by Motherwell South Church mens club. The visit was arranged by Tommy Goodman ( his name does him justice). I have known Tommy for many years, and when he asked if he could bring the mens club for a visit i was more than delighted. On behalf of Carla, Ann and myself we would like to thank Tommy and all who attended and made it a special night.
The tour covers three different angles. Firstly there is a tour of the sight test room. Carla explains the importance of regular eye tests, and what is involved during your eye test. The second part of the tour is with Sean, who walks you round the lab, and demonstrates how we make prescription spectacles and sunglasses. Lastly, Sean and Ann explain about our charity that is being setup. Our aim is to open a sight testing clinic in Kenya and provide free eye tests and prescription spectacles to those who need them. Kenya does not have "free eye test and NHS spectacles" like we do in this country, so many people have a need for glasses, but have no access to them. This is something that we are trying to change.
Now that we have completed the first tour we are now opening it up to schools in the surrounding area's and other church groups and social groups. We will be contacting schools in East Kilbride next week. If you run a group or organization and would be interested in attending, please contact me. You can either phone: 01355 247581 or email admin@seanwallseyecarecentre.com.
Bye for now
