3 days…Ghana!!!!

By randib

Hello,

If you are interested in virtual participation in our upcomin OneSight Clinic to Ghana, you've landed on the right blog! Our team of 44 volunteers and doctors will spend 2 weeks just outside of Accra providing complete eye exams and eyewear to thousands of people who could not otherwise afford to see the world clearly.

 

Each day, right here on this page, we will be posting highlights from our vision care Clinic including stories of our recipients, the team experience and a little about Ghana itself. We land in Accra in June 12th and will be posting messages and photograghs trough June 23rd. Please be sure to log in everyday so you don't miss a minute of the excitement! And, if you are interested, our team is also raising money to help fund our Clinic. Make your donation today! www.onesight.org

Here's a little background about OneSight and our Global Clinics: 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 7 million people over it's 20 year history.

Each year, OneSight conducts two-week clinics where our doctors and trained volunteers provide free eye exams and eyewear to thousands of people in need. To date,we've run nearly 200 clinics in 37 different countries. This year, we have 15 clinics planned around the world. For a complete list of Clinic locationd, visit www.onesight.org.
