China day one

By amoore

Our China mission in 2010 began with a special opening ceremony hosted by the Qingdao Federation for Disabled Persons. We were honoured by the presence of several important dignitries who were so welcoming and grateful for the gift sight we were about to provide. We were also introduced to about 50 fabulous local volunteer translators to help us in this mission. After this warm welcome, it was down to business and by the end of the afternoon, we had seen approximately 450 people.

China day two

By amoore

We each have a moment that makes our clinic and Dana had her's today. While dispensing, Dana was helping a gentleman who had been prescribed sunglasses and reading glasses. He was happy that we could help him, but as he worked as a calligrapher, the glasses weren't perfect for this work. Upon hearing this, Dana returned to the boxes of reading glasses and found a pair lower in magnification that allowed him to do his calligraphy at a longer, more comfortable working distance. Receiving these glasses brought absolute joy to this man's face and he has arranged to bring Dana a sample of his calligraphy as a special thank you.
