VTS Detroit YB 2025 EYE GLASS DRIVE
Branch
Detroit
October 19, 2025 at 9:00:00 PM
VTSEVA DETROIT YOUTH BOARD has collected 113 pairs of gently used eyeglasses to donate to those in need in Sri Lanka through Sigaram Foundation. The Sigaram Foundation is a charitable organization focused on empowering marginalized Tamil communities in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. In Sri Lanka, frames for glasses tend to cost around 10,000 rupees, or about $119, even without lenses. In the small, off-the-grid town of Omanthai, village residents simply cannot afford these glasses. However, the demand for glasses is still needed there, and visual problems are only rising. By donating old, used glasses in good shape, participants of this drive allowed for the people of Omanthai, Sri Lanka to be prescribed and sent glasses by a local doctor free of charge. Thanks to all the participants for giving a second chance to your glasses and a better vision to those in need.
