It was the fourth frame that needed replacement, and as a way to teach my son a lesson, I decided to buy the cheapest one. However, even that was six hundred dirhams after discount. I bought the frame but deep within,my thoughts were for those who can’t afford and hence are deprived through no fault of t
heirs.
That’s when an idea struck and just by coincidence I received a flyer on a parent’s what app group asking for old/spare/ rejected glasses for donations. The cutoff date was 20/6/2018 which is today.
With full enthusiasm, I circulated the flyer to my acquaintances but a lot of questions were asked about permission to do the same and how authentic this was. This put me in doubt and in a way slowed if not marred my zeal.
But if you set a pure intention the universe will conspire and make it happen. Yesterday, out of the blue, a colleague from another department approached to find out if I would like to take her old glasses. She had been to many shops and talked to people but having failed, decided to ask me.
My instant reaction was silence and I needed a good shake to believe what I’d just heard. I don’t know how she had read my mind and heart but today which is the last day of collection, she got me more then a dozen glasses to hand over to help a fraction of the 200 billion people who need our support.
