  • Eclipse Glasses Collection a Success

    Eclipse Glasses Collection A Success (S. Somes) As you may remember, I facilitated a collection of used solar eclipse glasses several months ago. The purpose was to provide these much needed safety aids to the organization Safe Passage (https:// www.safepassage.org) located in Guatemala. Safe Passage is “…a progressive school dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through education, healthcare, nutrition, and social services.” I had the great fortune earlier to join a volunteer team traveling to SP from Greely High School with our youngest daughter in 2014. The experience has stayed with me since. The school is now preparing for their solar eclipse event over Latin America scheduled for this October. I received about 30 pairs of glasses from friends and members of the church, and in combination with the schools in Cumberland/North Yarmouth, was able to hand off over 200 pairs at Safe Passage. I wish I could thank each of you individually for your donation, albeit small to you, it is amazing what a difference we make when we work together. Thank you.
