Cranbrook is sending 120 pairs of sunglasses to Honduras with the Unite For Sight charity, courtesy of Sundog Eyewear.

Local university graduate Nicole Butler is in the middle of a six-week stint in Honduras as a Global Impact Fellow for the charity, which provides high quality, cost effective eye care to the world’s poorest people.

Nicole approached the Cranbrook Rotary Club to support the efforts.
