The Final Day…Time to Finish Strong

By jpotanko

Today was our final day at the clinic. We only saw 5 schools for a total of 86 kids. Out of those 86 kids, 67 of them needed eyeglasses.  Our final totals were roughly 110 schools came through with a total of 2249 students. Out of those students, 1923 of them needed eyeglasses, a 85.5% of need. Also, out of those 1923 eyeglasses, only 4 of them could not be processed on site here at the clinic. This feat was accomplished despite having prescriptions coming in with ranges anywhere between +13.00 to a -19.00 and everything in between. As the last kids started to leave the clinic, the team started to clean up and pack up the supplies so that the next clinic in Chicago can have all that they need starting on Monday. The team finished so quickly that we had time to kill and relax before we started to depart to head back to our homes. We, as a team, worked with the highest levels of productivity and ensured everyone involved enjoyed the experience. We thank you all for your support!
