In the Ann Arbor area, members for Unite For Sight perform community service activities like promoting eye health at local elementary schools, volunteering at the Penrickton Center for Blind Children in Taylor, Mich. and hosting eyeglass drives to acquire gently used read- ing glasses, distance glasses and sunglasses for later donation. The glasses collected at the drives, which occur at various points through- out the year, are donated to impoverished areas around the world. LSA senior and club president Angela Verkade said members who collect the most eyeglasses are able to travel abroad to distribute the glasses to adults and children in need. The club also donates to health clinics in Ghana, India and Honduras. Once abroad, students can gain clinical experience while learning more about opto- metric issues. "Volunteers work under the doctors and help in clin- its and with patients," said Verkade, who got involved in the organization fresh- man year after considering a career in optometry. To support the club's upcoming trips, Verkade said the group will be trick- or-treating for eyeglasses around Ann Arbor next month on Halloween. Verkade added that for the remainder of the year, the group hopes to continue to educate children on simple methods of blindness pre- vention. "At elementary schools, we present different ways for teachers to look out for eye issues early on or we talk to the students about proper eye care," she said. According to Verkade, the club's members, whose majors range from global health to education to sociol- ogy, are united by the desire to provide service to others. "What brings us together is being able to help the com- munity," she said. - CLAIRE GOSCICKI The University's chapter of Unite for Sieht collects tently used sunglasses, read- ine glasses and distance glasses to donate to impoverished areas like Ghana.
