September 16, 2010 Eye Brigade Zuniga Arriba, Moracoupi, Valle

All of these happy faces are some of the patients we were able to perform eye exams on today.  This rural village mustered up about 70 adults and a few hundred kids for today's Eye Brigade and Toy Giveaway.  The gasoline for today's trip was sponsored by Jack DeLoss Taylor Trust.  Zoe Clinic in Tegucigalpa sent their medical personnel to help us and Unite For Sight volunteers, visiting Honduras for a month, also helped.

September 16, 2010 Happy Faces At A Toy Giveaway In Zuniga Arriba, Valle

Today was a wonderful day filled with lots of hot, hard work but I had a great time giving away toys sent to my by Halo of Hope Ministry directed by Dale and Gloria Leiniger. 

Thank you to Jack DeLoss Taylor Trust for their help in paying for the gasoline to get to this remote village.  This pueblo is 2 hours on a bumpy, hole filled asphalt road then another hour and 15 minutes on a dirt road.  We took an eye team with us and were able to examine about 70 people and found several with cataracts who will receive surgery next week.
