I have a strong passion to help persons with visual impairment. This is the reason why I started Tess Eye Care Foundation to reach out to people in my community who are visually impaired & give hope to the blind. I am grateful for the support I get from Optometrists who volunteer

You've been staring at your phone for hours, now look somewhere else far away for just 20 seconds. You'll be reducing the strain on your eyes. RT to help others.

Spread the awareness and take the precautions #coronavirus
.@WHO is working closely with all countries to control the new #coronavirus outbreak. Person-to-person transmission has been seen in at least 3 countries outside #China – Japan 🇯🇵 , Vietnam 🇻🇳 & Germany 🇩🇪 - and the cooperation and info-sharing has been very good.

How you treat the ordinary person next to u tells a lot about who u really are. If u are on a date with a new friend, watch how he talks to the waiter, the security guard or the driver.Many women who suffer violence in their relationships probably ignored this #ThursdayThoughts

2019, God gave me a house. Not rented. My own home. 4bedroom. With a garden. In England. For a boy that only came to UK with 2travelling bags in 2016, I’m in tears. My prayer for everyone that follows me or sees this is that God will grant all your heart’s greatest desires 🙏🏿
