Dr. Faye DeClue Young, a former classmate of mine, and an optometrist in the KC area volunteered to go to Haiti in June to check the eyesight of "Love Haiti" students. NONE of these students, their siblings, or their parents have ever had their eyes examined. After sharing her intent with the director of Restoring Vision the director offered to send 400 pairs of glasses with us on this upcoming trip to Haiti next week. We received the glasses today and instructions on how we can test vision for those needing readers. I am so excited to see the response from the recipients of these glasses, and the reaction from the students who will have their eyes examined this summer. Thank you Dr. Faye Young and Restoring Vision. Look for upcoming stories and photos about improving vision in Haiti!
