Volunteering in Sierra Leone with Vision Aid Overseas

In November this year I will be travelling Sierra Leone with a group of volunteers from the charity Vision Aid Overseas. We will be based in remote communities, providing eye tests and glasses to people who would otherwise not have access to them. To fundraise for the charity I will be taking part in the Great Scottish Run Half Marathon in October and any donations will be gratefully received.
