Discover here the operation “Glasses without frontiers” organised in collaboration with the Commission and EAAS section from Union Syndicale Bruxelles !

Who does not have an old pair of glasses sleeping somewhere in the darkness of a drawer and that are never used? Union Syndicale proposes you to participate in solidarity action based on a better way to recycle your old glasses (reading glasses, eyeglasses or sunglasses) before they become clutter. Send them to Union Syndicale and we will deliver them to a charity which is our contact for this operation.

Your glasses will first be sorted and then sent to various other charities which will distribute them to people who badly need them, especially in less developed countries, who otherwise do not have a chance of getting a pair of glasses.

Please participate in this operation, bring us the glasses (without the case, in an envelope) or send them by the 20 December 2017 to:

Union Syndicale at the Commission, SecPol, J-70 01/102 – tel. +32 229-60770
Union Syndicale at EEAS, EEAS Joy 01/536 – tel. +32 2 584 2174

Here is the presentation of the NGO “Lunettes sans frontières” :

The association Lunettes sans frontière, founded by Father François-Marie Meyer in 1974, has been very active for more than forty years and is committed to causes that transcend borders. It allows each one of us to mobilize, to bring our help to the service of the poorest, whether they come from here or elsewhere. Whether we are donors, volunteers or simply sympathizers, we all participate in our own way in the life of this association. This citizen action is based on fundamental values, such as listening, sharing and mutual aid, participating in a solidarity investment for society, a general “well being”.

This booklet is an opportunity to give an account of the history of the association, its activities and how it works. It will also be an opportunity to pay homage to Father François-Marie and to thank all those involved in continuing his work.

Let’s help them see better

Change their sight, change their lives
