And unfortunately, this number is only going to grow: the World Health Organization expects the blind and Low Vision population to double by the year 2020. Vision-Aid is an organization dedicated to helping those afflicted by vision-related disabilities in India."The group collected over 120 pairs of old glasses which will be sent to the charity to help people in poorer countries. Celebrating International Day of PeaceSeptember 21st is the International Day of Peace, organised by the United Nations.The theme for 2017 was "Together for peace: respect, safety and dignity for all."Dr Jane Goodall herself was invited to celebrate at the United Nations. And here in the UK Chowbent Primary School celebrated by making many little doves and one great big one!
