Eye Glasses -recycling: The Grenfell Lions Club collects old prescription glasses and sunnies for recycling to send to Third World Countries.
The target is 500,000 pairs per annum and this is currently being attained with excellent input from our 19 Lions Districts in Australia and also from Lions Clubs in Japan.
The glasses are cleaned, graded and packed by prisoners in 4 gaols in Queensland.
This is a Humanitarian Package of $500 + million dollars by the Lions of Australia and Japan for the people of the third world; simply WE SERVE
