The time that we have all been preparing so diligently for has finally come. In just a few short weeks we will have the opportunity to give the gift of sight to thousands of deserving people. A life with out desperately needed eyecare is a reality to many people in the world. Through OneSight countless doors and possibilities will been opened to improve their quality of life. Clear vision allows a child the ability to go to school and get their education, adults can seek employment and provide for their families. Plus, who can take for granted the ability to see a loved one smile especially if this is something they are seeing for the first time. Yes, the gift of sight is truly a gift like no other, that is why OneSight works so hard with countless local community volunteers, generous donations, dedicated Luxottica employees, and caring doctors to see that the 20 International missions conducted each year run so smoothly.
We invite you to visit this blog each day of our two week mission and share in the experiences with us as we touch lives in the Granada/Rivas Nicaragua communities and have our lives changed forever as well. You will soon see why we have such a passion for giving everyone the opportunity to see the world clearly. We hope that after you experience this with us it will be a passion of yours as well.
If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause and help us exceed our goal to raise 8,000 dollars for our mission, feel free to follow the link and donate. Even the smallest amount can go a long way to help someone see the world clearly.
We are only day's away now ! What an awesome opportunity and awesome adventure this will be !

Christina, Christina, Christina! There's a great quote that made me think of you on your mission:
ReplyDelete"Gratitude is a vaccine, an anti-toxin, an anti-septic."
How thoughtful - and I'm sure there's no doubt that's how the many hearts of children and adults you're helping feel about you!
