"Embrace" eye tests ~~ please read

YES !! all our hard work has been worth it The eye tests for the children are still being completed and to date 120 children have been examined at the hospital A lot of the children do need glasses so if the parents do not have insurance which covers this then we will pay for them  They have so far located six children who's eyesight is so poor they are in need of an operation and one child is in danger of losing her eyesight completely if the operation is not carried out immediately I will be going to Antalia with these children to see the specialist and we can only hope there is enough money in the kitty to pay for all the operations Please keep your donations coming in of unwanted items for us to sell at our charity coffee mornings every Wednesday A further 180 children are waiting for their tests which will happen in the next few weeks and we will keep you updated on the progress of the six  serious ones A huge thank you to all those who have helped us so far

Now this is what it is all about.  Well done to Mavis and the ladies at Embrace for helping to fund such a worthwhile cause. The committee of Calis Carnival are very proud to be associated with you and support you fully in this project :D
