Eyes

The majority of the work I’ve done here is in relation to the eye clinics. We are just getting ready for another team to come and we’ll spend next week in the province of Free State. Usually we work in the schools but this next outreach, we will be working in the community and not the schools. I’m expecting that we will mostly be seeing adults but we’re not really sure what to expect.

I’ve had the chance to work in all areas of the clinic. I can do registration, counseling and evangelism, AIDS teaching, run the Retinomax, dispense glasses and make custom glasses. All of this will come in handy since the last two days of the outreach, I will be ‘in charge’ (very loosely stated) since all of our experienced people will be disbursing to various parts of the world. A pretty funny twist of events!

Here are more photos of the work we’re doing in the clinics (thanks to Lauren and Kim for some of these photos):

Getting ready for the next outreach. We have to inventory and take hundreds and hundreds of glasses.
