Victoria's Trip to Ghana

On the 2nd September 2017 I am travelling with Vision Aid Overseas to Ghana. Here I will be visiting Cape Coast University to train some of their Optometry students. We will be taking them on outreach in remote villages to provide eye care to locals who have no access to any kind of healthcare. The outcome of this assignment is to train students in Ghana to be able to sustain and carry out adequate eyecare in there country.

This is an amazing oportunity to provide eye examination, spectacles and training for sustainable eye and vision service in Ethiopia. I trully believe that everybody has the right to good sight and no one should live with poor eyesight because of poverty.
