It’s the Final Countdown!!

By twible

It's been 9 months in the making and now we're less than 72 hours away from 40 people traveling from all corners of the globe to Mtubatuba, South Africa with one goal--to help give the gift of sight.  We are proud Luxottica Associates and Doctors that are volunteering our time with OneSight so that we can give back to the global community that we are members of. 

We invite you to follow us here on the offical clinic blog.  The blog will be where we will introduce the clinic team, talk about our journey to Mtubatuba, share pictures, and talk about our experiences helping people see better one pair of glasses at a time.  We'll have lots to share during our 2 week clinic, so check the blog often!

So a little about OneSight.  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 over it's 20-year history.  For more information, check out www.onesight.org. 

Alright, that's enough for tonight--the team has lots of packing to do (and some last minute supply shopping!)

    Hi - I’m excited for you and hope the mission goes according to plan.  You’re in great hands since Leona is with you.  I miss international mission trips.  They were so heartwarming and wonderful.  Be sure to take care of Alice Penley!  She has a lot of heart!  Take care and I’ll be watching your adventures on this blog.
