With Them contributed to the evolution of an eye examination programme as well as a widespread distribution of eye glasses.  These initiatives
were overseen by Nicole Cerdan from the association Action Sante Solidarte Aveyron (ASSA), in collaboration with the optician Claire Miravillas.

What was achieved

The objective of this mission was to conduct eye examinams reviews and adjust prescription glasses, after sensitization in 33 villages.

All students in the school with vision problems were taken care of for free as well as students.

People were really appreciate of this initiative, we received a lot of very touching feedback. Young and old helped with the translations, sorting, and other needs.
