THE Bright Eyes Trust, which has been in operation for the last 14 years, is looking for volunteers and donations to assist with their various projects.
Some of these projects run from Rinaldo Road in Durban North, but the centre is based in Musgrave.

The trust works to provide essential services to the visually impaired.
“The visually impaired children of KZN are in crisis, and there is very little conversation about how to meet their needs. We are calling for the Durban North community to come forward and support us in our efforts to make a difference,” said Cathryn Aylett, project coordinator for Bright Eyes Trust.
How can you help?
• Pledge 10kg flour, maize, rice, sugar, samp or beans each month.
• Collect toiletries and clothing on our behalf at your school or office.
• Donate fruit and vegetables weekly.
• Spend time on a Tuesday cooking soups for our freezer.
• Make us your charity of choice and fund a vision-screening drive at one of the schools on our waiting list. These drives cost R5 000 per school, and we can screen up to 300 learners in a day.
• Join the Matriarch Project and become a community leader working for change. Share your skills with us or your time. Work remotely or on-site. We have a little job for every woman. It takes very little time and effort to make a really big difference.
