Janet Cooper goes to Malawi

In June, Janet Cooper will be spending some time in Malawi, as a member of a team which will bring the benefits of optical treatment to the people there, who would otherwise have their eyesight problems untreated. She asks you to remember this work in your prayers, and if possible, to support the work of Vision Aid Overseas, who have arranged the project.
