The video above features a group of high school students from Verde Valley School in Sedona, Arizona, USA, that worked with the local Lions club to provide eye care and eyeglasses to people in Malawi. The students spent a year cleaning eyeglasses, reading their prescriptions and packaging them. They traveled to Malawi where they worked with partners, including the Sedona Oak Creek Lions Club, to provide free vision screenings<\/a> and eye care to children and adults in need. The first day, they dispensed 750 pairs of eyeglasses.<\/p>\n Watch the video to see what these students learned from their experiences, and how their efforts helped change lives.<\/p>\n
