Spectacles for Fatouma

Fatouma can draw well, but she doesn’t learn how to read and write properly because she doesn’t recognize the letters on the blackboard. Everything that is further away is blurred.

Until one day opticians come to her school. They can give all schoolchildren with poor eyesight the right glasses on the same day! The glasses also look nice. For Fatouma, it’s like a miracle.

The story takes place in Burkina Faso.
The “One Dollar Specs” association is active there which has set itself the task to provide people in poorer countries with with glasses.
