Better Vision for Better Health

This past week, a group of volunteer optical technicians, including an optometrist, came to Oscar Romero to give vision tests and write prescriptions for glasses. Below you will see how they and the abuelitos reacted. Unfortunately, only those who already wear glasses or are noticibly failing could be tested. If they can find, beg, borrow or steal S/.20 (twenty nuevo soles) they will be able to get new glasses from the prescriptions.

Of course, the problem is...Where do they each find S/.20? That's the equivalent of $6.20

Please consider clicking on the Donate Now button on the site, and giving $10.00 to cover the electronic payment fee and the cost of a new pair of glasses! If you wish to donate more, and have the donation used specifically for glasses, please indicate that when you donate.
