Prominent optometrist, Dr. Johan Alistair Da Silva, of Modern Optical Service  of Middle Street Georgetown, has officially joined the Alliance For Change.
“It is about time that I take this step and get involved. This beautiful country which I want to see realise its full potential,  cannot do so with people standing on the sidelines. Change is required and we must help in that change.
