All Roads Lead to India…

By dwilliams

...at least for the members of our 2011 OneSight India Clinic Team!   After 10 months of preparation and anticipation, we are only 3 short days away from our journey to Jodhpur, India, to help give the gift of sight, one person and one pair of glasses at a time.

OneSight is a family of charitable programs dedicated to improving vision through outreach, research and education.  Sponsored by Luxottica, OneSight programs have helped more than 8 million people world-wide over it's 20-year history.  This year, we have 15 clinics planned around the world.  For more information, check out www.onesight.org. 

We would like to invite you to come with us along the way through our clinic blog.  Here is where you can meet our team, hear our stories, and share our experiences.  Please feel free to make comments, ask questions, and leave notes of encouragement!  We will be updating the blog as often as possible, so don't miss a minute of the excitement and check back daily!  We can't wait to share our journey with you!
