Wow! Day 3 in clinic was great. We saw a number of the school children today. We saw 165 patients and dispensed 226 pairs of glasses.
One of the tough cases today was a 10 year old girl, blind in one eye from a cataract: we hope the process to start her needed treatment began today.
On a lighter note, the Guatemalan gentlemen have been giving all the ladies on the team their best smiles! We’ve seen a large number of men and are thankful because they don’t always seek treatment.
We are also thankful for the mid afternoon cookies and coffee. Just what we needed to power through the rest of the day.
So happy to see all of these updates. Please give my best to my sister Karen and niece Kaitlyn. You all are doing a wonderful thing.
