"Over four days, the team examined more than 2,600 children, a number driven in part by pent-up demand after a November trip was canceled due to a devastating hurricane."

We’ve faced many challenges in doing the work we do at @seebetterlearnbetter, but videos like this remind us why we keep pushing forward.
Can you imagine how many Jamaican children may be experiencing a blurry world, just like Howard did?
There’s nothing quite like the moment a child realizes that they can see the world in a whole new way; more clearly, more confidently, and with greater possibility. ❤️
And honestly, that moment is our reward. It’s the reason @seebetterlearnbetter exists and continues to do what we do.
Thank you, @amysabellamalone, for capturing and sharing this beautiful moment.
It sounds pretty simple; vision is fundamental to learning, yet thousands of children getting ready to resume school in September, have never been vision screened.
Spread the word!
There’s a registered nonprofit organization in Jamaica that promotes healthy vision and provides comprehensive and sustainable eye care for school children in 19 schools in Westmoreland and Hanover!
Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to do this all across the island!? We already have a tested and proven formula but we need your help and support!

Calling all volunteers! And if you want to donate to our mission…. Please click the link in our bio.
We appreciate your help and support 🫵🏽❤️
Imagine struggling to learn simply because you can’t see the words on the board in a classroom or textbook.
For just over 10USD, @seebetterlearnbetter Jamaica can screen a child and identify vision problems. And for only 56USD, that child can receive everything they need; from a professional vision screening to a brand-new pair of prescription glasses!
Just $56 can mean the difference between falling behind and thriving in the classroom, between frustration and confidence, between blurred vision and a brighter future.
A life can be changed for less than the cost of a dinner out.

So many lives have been touched… and still, so many left to be reached!
See Better Learn Better remains committed to giving children access to comprehensive eye examinations and ensuring students across our 19 partner schools have the opportunity to learn better through better vision.
Every eye exam brings us one step closer to a brighter future!
Our newest See Better Learn Better partner school addition!
