The last day of clinic started and ended fast. There were a large number of kids waiting for us when we arrived at clinic in the morning, so registration was a challenge for the first couple of hours. Before we knew it, 12pm rolled around and it was time to start packing up. Around 3pm, the first van load of people left to head to the airport. About an hour later, it was our turn to head out.
Unfortunately, the week flew by fast, and while everyone had a good time, it feels like we only just started to really get to know one another. The week of clinic was another wonderful experience. We saw a lot of kids with great big smiles on their faces, and many wonderful stories of children who had gone so long without glasses, but with our help, received a brand new pair that allow them to see clearly now and perform better in school.
Being a part of OneSight is such a rewarding experience. And even though giving the gift of sight is what we're all about, it's still such an amazing experience to hear the stories of how we affect people's lives, and to see the smile on the face of someone we've just helped. I'm very proud and fortunate to be a part of such a great organization.
