Twenty-three volunteers went to Zihuatanejo, Mexico to help the blinded poor. The majority of the team was college students. The energy was unbelievable. The compassion these young adults exhibited was very inspiring. Dr. Jim was the only surgeon, while Dr. Dan and Dr. Julia ran the clinic. The remaining non-medical volunteers ran the show.
The team performed 48 vision restoring cataract surgeries, saw 400 people in clinic, and gave out 3,000 pairs of glasses. The mission also distributed several pairs of shoes, clothes, toys, and candy. Our Lord was glorified. We were blessed.
