Suzanna can sew again after 10 years
Suzanna is 74 years old and lives in a small village on the Amazon. She has 15 children, 54 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. When she heard that we were coming, she set off immediately. She traveled five hours by boat and then walked to get a pair of reading glasses because she couldn't see properly.
Rice and guava juice
Overjoyed with her new glasses, Suzanna invited our entire team to her home for the next day. We were welcomed with rice chicken, vegetables and freshly squeezed guava juice.
The sewing machine
After the meal, Suzanna proudly shows how she can thread the needle of her old Singer sewing machine again with her OneDollarGlasses. She can finally sew for her family again – for the first time in around ten years.
Farewell to our team
For Suzanna, today is a reason to celebrate. For us, it's an incentive to keep going, because we can have a positive impact on a whole life with a pair of reading glasses.
Suzanna is very grateful that she can once again support her large family with her work. We bid her a fond farewell.
I can finally sew for my family again – I haven't been able to do that for ten years.
