Eoin was keen to capture these scenes, especially Nampula’s children. An exhibition of Eoin’s emotional images will run in Powerscourt Town Centre, Dublin 2 until October 15th.
The Night Shift trip focused on the northern province of Nampula, where 1.5 million of the 5 million population, similar to that of Ireland, are living with a visual impairment.
Sightsavers’ Million Miracles appeal aims to raise €36 million over three years to provide one million life-changing, sight-restoring operations to people living with cataract in developing countries around the world.
