On behalf of the Rotary Club of Arua Eco City, I would like to send my sincere gratitude to the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise for the tremendous job you are doing to see that everyone in this world lives a good life. 
Through Rotarian Roger Lee, Rotarian Faith Inocensia of Arua Eco city, received five hundred and fourteen pairs of eyeglasses. Among them were 74 new pairs and the rest were used but in good condition.
We as the Rotary group gave out 140 pairs of used eye glasses to a charity organization called Umoja helping hearts Uganda based in Wakiso district.
We also gave 160 used glasses and 74 new pairs of eyeglasses to the Danish refugee council, an organization serving the refugees living in Rhino refugee resettlement camp and Mvepi resettlement camp respectively in West Nile region in Uganda because being the vulnerable group we felt they really needed some of them. We as the club of Arua Echo City remained with 140 pairs of eyeglasses to be distributed to the community in Koboko together with the Rotary Club of Koboko which is going to be newly started on the 22nd of October 2022.
We shall share pictures and videos as regards  the distribution process of all eyeglasses in the refugee settlements Arua, in Koboko and in Wakiso districts in West Nile region.
Attached for now are pictures showing the handover of the eyeglasses by Faith Inocensia who received them from Rotarian Roger Lee to different persons of concern as they await distribution by the concerned Rotarians to the rightful beneficiaries.

Yours sincerely
Faith  Cynthia
