Elaine and Reanna at the eye clinic

One of the greatest joys for me here in Panama (Kimberly, usually the one behind the camera!!) is getting to see the expression on the faces of those who have never had glasses, and needed them. We had the fun of working with an eyedoctor from New Mexico, and learned a great deal about healthy eyes. One thing we learned is that there is a disease which is caused mostly from the sun, which causes many in the area to go blind. When in Atlanta visiting my friend Gretchen, a friend of hers generously donated boxes of sunglasses. The people were thrilled to get them, and we know that it will provide protection far beyond what we even knew they needed.
