Shine Bright for Eye Health: Support South Africans with Visual Impairments This October
Mark your calendars! On Friday, October 18, South Africans are invited to don their coolest sunglasses to raise awareness and show support for individuals living with visual impairments. This day, known as #ShadesDay, serves as a fantastic opportunity to protect our eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays while fostering a deeper understanding of eye health issues.
By simply wearing your favorite shades, you’re making a statement about the importance of eye protection. But there’s more you can do! By purchasing a R20 sticker, you’ll directly contribute to initiatives that change lives for those who are visually impaired. The funds raised will go towards pivotal services like guide dogs, white cane training, and essential life skills training for everyday living.
Where can you grab your sticker? Look no further than participating stores, including well-known names like PLACEHOLDERe38268bd9c, PLACEHOLDER3ad638ce0a, PLACEHOLDER96560dbc9f, PLACEHOLDER682a91f22c, and Pick n Pay. For schools and organizations interested in large orders, you can reach out via email at MelanieN@guidedog.org.za.
Don’t forget that you can also support this initiative by purchasing digital stickers on their official website here. If you’re wondering about the impact of such initiatives, just take a look at the remarkable milestone celebrated on July 16, when a total of 17 guide dogs and service animals graduated, bringing joy and independence to many.
If you’re in South Africa and looking for ways to make a positive difference, we encourage you to join others in supporting this worthy cause. Wearing sunglasses has more significance than just fashion; it’s about raising awareness, fostering community spirit, and helping improve lives.
So, let’s come together in style for a great cause! Thank you for your support, and remember to wear your shades proudly on October 18!
