Eye Clinic

 

The eye clinic consists of fitting used eyeglasses, brought down in one of the duffle bags, to people with vision problems. Sometimes fashion becomes more important to the patient than good vision so the Eye Clinic Team must quickly learn how to overcome that problem. In 2004 one of the Villanueva children, an twelve year old named Walter, helped the team learn a little Honduran psychology in dealing with the fashion problem. Walter is one of the fortunate Villanueva children who is sponsored to attend St. Mary’s Episcopal School in Tegucigalpa. He speaks fluent English and is very intelligent – he will be a doctor some day.  Walter is in the white shirt in the background.
