Well it isn’t every day that you find a charity that was started by a 16 year old girl. EYEsee was founded by Janice Guzon, a young lady who has eye problems herself. She suffers from Type 1 Diabetes and decided that she was going to do a service project that was related to vision. She got the ball rolling…

The group collects eyeglasses in North America and then recycles them for use in countries where people could never afford to buy them. I was so impressed with this young lady–and this group. They certainly deserve “newsworthy charity” status. If you are looking to write about young people who are passionate and have a heart for service–check out this group.
