For Unimedlink’s 2014 trip we were donated 300 pairs of prescription eyeglasses not all of which were useable. The need for these glasses was overwhelming; we distributed 213 pairs and sadly had to turn people away due to time constraints and availability of matching prescriptions to patients. We continued with eyeglasses in following years and expanded distribution to several secondary schools. A memorable moment was a farmer nearly in tears stating that he could see his farm clearly across the valley for the first time in his adult life.
