A thank you to Mullers

Andrew and Brevan from Mullers are casting their wonderful magic this week at our centres, and will continue their work over the next month or so. Over 100 children were assessed this week, and approximately 150 more children will be tested at all our schools in the next two weeks. Mullers have committed to screen every grade one child, any new child up to grade three, plus see the children who have already been treated by Mullers in previous years. In addition, Nikki from SDM Eyewear has very generously donated 50 pairs of frames to add to the alchemy. The next stage for Mullers once all the testing has been completed will be the diagnosis and follow-up with glasses if needed. We want to thank Mullers and SDM for their collaboration and for giving their time, expertise and product so willingly. We salute them for being part of the vision (if you will excuse the pun) that allows our children the opportunity to become better readers.

Shine Loves Mullers!

I received some lovely photos from Bea, our programme manager, and the following message: 
'This year Andrew took over a lot of the planning and was very visible in the schools. Everyone at Mullers has been approachable, friendly, supportive and concerned about the well-being and, of course, the on-going health of our children’s eyes. The centre managers and I have so enjoyed working with the Mullers team and we are looking forward to strengthening relationships with them next year.
On a particularly flustered day when arrangements went haywire, this is part of an sms I received from Andrew – I thanked him for making so many sacrifices for our children, and his response was as follows: "Helping the Shine children has been no sacrifice, it is what we all need to do as citizens of planet earth. The changes you and your organisation make humbles me. It is what we all need to do." ' 
We are only as strong as the people who support us. We feel like we have an ARMY of people behind us! Thank you to all involved at Mullers. 

The postman came to visit during their eye testing, and the children learnt about 'old fashioned' stamps!


Brevan and Andrew, with some of the children's thank-yous.
