"A Jersey optician [from the Isle of Jersey, not the state] has returned from Burkina Faso in Africa after helping to improve the eyesight of thousands of people there," according to ChannelOnline. "Dave Baker was one of 8 volunteers to go on a 2 week project organised by Vision Aid Overseas. The charity sends opticians to various countries in Africa to carry out eye tests and give out glasses. Altogether they saw 2552 people, supplied 2246 pairs of specs and arranged for 584 people to have sight saving surgery by a partner charity, Orbis."
