Lions World Sight Day : Focusing Attention on Preventing Blindness and Improving Sight

Lions World Sight Day (LWSD) which was created to recognize and reinforce the importance of eradicating preventable blindness is held annually on the second Thursday of October. Lions clubs around the world are encouraged to participate by sponsoring local activities and programs, either on Lions World Sight Day or some time during October to educate their communities about the need to conquer preventable blindness and preserve sight.

The Lions Club of Castries in observance of this day will be holding an open discussion at the Carmen Rene Memorial School, Sans Souci. The guest at this Discussion will be Jessica Jacobie a visually impaired young lady who has been very successful despite her visual impairment.
