| Eye
Clinics
The Eye Clinic project was one of the first projects of the Honduran
Mission. Early team members collected used eye glasses and matched
the glasses to the needs of people in Honduras.
Eye Clinics are available to the people when the Mission Teams
visit their villages. Volunteers go into the local schools
to administer eye exams to the children. Referrals are made
for further treatment and/or glasses are provided as needed by
the Mission Team.
Through out the year, the Alabama Honduran
Mission collects good used sets of eyeglasses that would normally
be discarded. These glasses can be cleaned and fitted to
the people in Honduras. Recycling used eye glasses is good
in at least two ways: it makes use of an item that would normally
be discarded and placed in a landfill, and it gives the gift of
clearer vision to people who have limited access to eye care and
in most cases, cannot afford a pair of new glasses.
