Our Week is Wrapping Up.
Tomorrow is the last day of our clinic in Rivas Nicaragua. It has been a long two weeks but one filled with many rewards. There were so many great people that our team met on this mission. So many men women and children that came and went. We saw them for just a few moments but they will remain in our hearts and memories forever.
Alberto with his special touch and gift with children. He is truly a gentlemen in all sense of the words.
Cat was able to dispense this pair of glasses to a 55 year old woman who has never had glasses and was prescribed with a -9 prescription. Just think how much this will effect her life for the better.
Maria dispensed this pair and to her disappointment I had to tell her we had no way of printing off a picture for her. With no e-mail address either she wanted something to remember me by so I took off my bracelets and put them on her. I held her hand and felt her trembling from excitement. This woman brought me to tears and left the clinic beaming from ear to ear.

I live in Granada, Nicaragua and am trying to find out more about the Onesight clinic in Rivas in order to help a Nicaraguan friend who needs attention. Can anyone tell me how to make this contact and/or when the next clinic will be held and how to get on the waiting list?
