COUNTLESS children in Kenya are set to benefit from a new school built specifically for deaf children.
The Specsavers hearing centre located at Redditch is working in partnership with UK-based hearing charity, Sound Seekers, to sell pin badges of the loveable cartoon character, Miffy, for just £1.
Mike Walker, hearing aid audiologist from Specsavers Redditch, said: “The majority of us assume that hearing loss and deafness only really effects older people, but in countries like Kenya many children are left deaf or hard of hearing due to malaria or other infectious diseases.”
Specsavers customers and residents are also being asked to recycle any unwanted analogue hearing aids in store, which can be reconditioned and used by the children at the Kilifi School.
To make a donation to the Kenyan school project, simply visit Specsavers in Redditch. To make an appointment for a free hearing test, pcall 01527 595558 or visit Eye tests, glasses & contact lens fittings at Specsavers Opticians, Redditch For further information on Sound Seekers, visit Sound Seekers.
