His Excellency Kenneth Tachie, the resident High Commissioner of Ghana in Malta was the guest of the Club at the meeting held on Wednesday July 20. The distinguished guest spoke about the problems facing his country vis-a-vis sight, since several Ghanians suffer from different eyesight problems like glaucoma and catarrhs. He expressed his thanks for the help given by Malta in this regard. At the end of his talk the High Commissioner was presented with several eye glasses, most of which were donated to the Club by opticians in Sliema and Gzira. His Excellency thanked the club for their initiative and said he will make sure that eye glasses would reach people in need of them. This is not the first time that the Club has collected eye glasses to be sent to African countries. Over 30 years similar donations were made to Zimbabwe and in recent years hundreds of eye glasses were sent to Lions in France and Italy for onward despatch to other African countries. Such donations are appreciated by people in Africa since improving their eye sight is of importance and can many a time ensure that they could lead a better way of living.
