WE NEED YOUR OLD SUNGLASSES!

We are currently seeking donations of high-quality sunglasses (minimum Category 3) for the porters of Nepal and other mountain regions. Aside from the impact of cold weather at high altitude, Himalayan porters – like all those who trek in this beautiful region of the world – are at risk of snow blindness. This painful condition is caused by extreme UV levels, which kill the outer cells of the eyeball leading to blindness. Such problems can be avoided by wearing effective sunglasses that filter UVA and UVB radiation and so prevent damage to the eye. Please bring any old pairs you may have lying around along to the show with you! Thank you in advance, PPUK.
