Eyes for Zimbabwe was created in 1997 with the goal of “giving sight” to those who were blinded by cataracts. Since that time, they have not only continued with that goal, but have expanded into many different spheres including feeding, educating, clothing, and giving reading glasses. They also assist many prospective LDS missionaries with their required clothing, shoes, cases, and back-packs which they can’t afford. I learned about Eyes for Zimbabwe when my grandparents came back from
Here are some pictures of people who have been helped by Eyes For Zimbabwe.
These people all had surgery to restore their eyesight.
These are my Grandparents in Zimbabwe.
Here's what I need:
* Clothing, new or gently used of all kinds and sizes
* Men's white dress shirts, new or gently used
* ties
* small toys
* reading glasses
* shoes
* backpacks
* cash donations will be accepted to help us purchase more supplies
I need to collect all donations by Saturday, October 1st. Supplies can be brought to my home and we'll also be collecting items that can be left on your doorstep. Of course, you can also call me anytime and I'll come pick it up.
If you have any questions, call me, leave me a comment on this blog, or send an email to my mom (mistymayfield@comcast.net).
Thanks in advance for your support! I know that the people in Zimbabwe will be blessed by our efforts.
Sincerely,
Christian Mayfield

Christian - what an amazing eagle scout project! I'm excited to help you!
ReplyDeleteHey Christian...I'll ask my friends if they have anything they can donate and I'll collect the stuff from them. I'll let you know how much time I use so you can count it toward your 100 hours. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteChristian, what an awesome project! I know I have some glasses tucked away in drawers, and some white shirts too. I will drop them by your house next week.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Love that you chose something close to your heart & the hearts of those you love.
