Another great day in Belize

Today was second day in Los Flores, an area of Belmopan, Belize. People again had numerous medical and eye problems and in optometry we were blessed to have most glass prescriptions needed. One was 20/2000 or worse and thrilled to get glasses. It is so heart warming to help these people do in need. We will certainly rest well tonight. 

More Monday Stories

As you can tell from the Debs Monday posts we had another interesting day in Belize . We worked at our first brigade site. We met many interesting people and found great needs for medical care and eyecare. We return to the site tomorrow. On returning to the WGO campus we walked to the edge of the property and walked the swinging bridge. A tiring and fun day.
