Hello World!

By lweinstein

Hello world! This is the first in a series of articles you will be reading from the OneSight India Clinic, in Goa, India. Our clinic team is made up of over forty members representing Luxottica associates  and volunteers from all over the world. We have team members from North America, Europe, and Asia.

With less than a week before we leave our homes to travel to Goa, team members are getting ready for this grand adventure. Bags are being packed, equipment is being readied and checklists are being checked to make sure all is ready.

You will being reading about our clinic adventures here. You will read about our journey to Goa, clinic members’ interactions with the people we meet and much, much more. With this blog you will be able to look over our shoulders and share our experiences.

For our readers who are unfamiliar with OneSight: we are a group of charitable programs dedicated to improving vision through outreach, research and education. OneSight is sponsored by Luxottica and has helped over 7 million people in 37 different countries. You can help us by visiting our Fundraising page at www.onesight.org.
