That the Parliament recognises the efforts of optometry student and Specsavers employee, Tatiana Duzy, who will be volunteering with the Phelophepa Healthcare Train in South Africa; notes that the Phelophepa Healthcare Train is a fully equipped travelling clinic that provides healthcare to adults and children in disadvantaged communities with little or no access to health care due to financial and geographical barriers; acknowledges that Tatiana will be part of a clinic team providing much needed eye care services, including glasses, eye tests and advice; commends Tatiana on combining clinical learning with volunteering and on providing eye care that can improve the life of communities, and wishes Tatiana the best for her trip and future in optometry.
