Adison

Organisation: GoodVision

At a GoodVision eye camp in Bolivia, 6-year-old Adison receives her first glasses - bringing joy to both her and her mother, who couldn’t afford vision care on her own.

There's no mistaking it: The glasses bring double the joy - for mother and daughter! 6-year-old Adison Marianna Lezardas comes to the eye camp because she has difficulty reading from the blackboard at school. And that's right: during the eye test, the team from GoodVision found that both of her eyes were short-sighted and the first grader needed glasses. It is a huge help to her mother that the NGO provides glasses for children worldwide free of charge, as she would never have been able to afford glasses from an optician. Adison is also thrilled with her first pair of glasses and doesn't want to take them off, not even when playing soccer with her brother. And now at school, Adison can read everything from the blackboard without any difficulties.
