This past September PazSalud organized a joint eye mission in Estanzuelas with Dr. Ken Henderson of the Lions Club of Bellingham where we were thrilled to see 325 patients in two and a half days. The goal of mission was to examine needy patients whom we were not able to see during our general mission in Estanzuelas the previous February.
During the September mission with the Lions, we saw some patients who required custom glasses to address their specific vision deficiencies. Dr. Henderson and the Lions generously volunteered to take on this challenging and expensive task by having eyeglasses for 4 patients made in the U.S. The Lions sent them to me during my visit to the U.S., I brought them back to El Salvador and recently had the pleasure of delivering the special optics to these very appreciative and deserving Salvadorans.
