In the hands of our dedicated volunteers, an inspirational space was created that will be used by over 300 children during the school year.<\/p>\n<p>Several weeks later on September 28th, a vision screening was held after school for over 130 local students. This was the first opportunity for Zenni team members to use their recent vision screening certification obtained through <a href=\"https:\/\/preventblindness.org\/prevent-blindness-childrens-vision-screening-certification-course\/\" aria-label=\"Visit Prevent Blindness Page\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prevent Blindness<\/a>.
