People living in the rural Bundi area including areas along the borders of Jimi, Simbu and Eastern Highlands Provinces will receive more then 1 300 medical prescription glasses.
The glasses will be donated to eye patients for free by Community impact projects director Vincent Kumura this week.
The Men of Honour and the Community Ingenuity Award Winner will continue his community work in the rural areas and will be distributing the glasses during a health outreach program.
The outreach program will be carried out from Oct 10-12 at Snow Pass in Bundi.
The glasses were sent by Dr. Marc Richmond of California and were donated by individuals and organizations in the United States.
Kumura said this will be the second time they’ll be donating the glasses with the first 300 glasses given to eye patients of Bundi in late 2014.
Kumura said the program aims to address the prevalent healthcare needs in the Bundi area.
He added that vision problems are one of the prevalent health issues for these remote mountain dwellers who survive by cultivating the land.
