They were able to deliver many spectacles donated by Dales folk to the Sheikh Zayed Eye Care hospital.The spectacles will be graded by skilled technicians ready for distribution on prescription.. Below - David P at the eye hospital with the donated spectacles.

At the school David Pointon enjoyed working with the children, giving both Braille lessons and also showing them how to use the toys. David Milner also had some fun times with the children.  Photos provided by Ken Nicholas, and Janet and Bob Hughes.
