A simple pair of glasses could help Tricia to see properly.

“I have problems at school because of my sight. Sometimes when the teacher writes on the blackboard I can’t see, so she writes bigger for me. I sit right at the front in class.”

“At home sometimes I can’t see things I have dropped on the ground, so I can’t pick them up. I have no special equipment to help me to see at the moment. I think that I need glasses, but no-one else has glasses in the school.”

“I often fall behind in class but my older sister helps me to read and write at home so I can catch up. When I’m older I’d like to be a teacher because I love my class teacher.”

Now that Sightsavers has found Tricia and tested her eyes, she is going to get a pair of glasses so that she can see properly.

There are millions of children in the world who are missing out on education because they are blind or who could be helped to see again. Sightsavers is working hard to find these children and help them. You can learn more about our work supporting children like Tricia at www.sightsavers.org/kidzone.
