"Gracias!" the chorus of small voices rang out as we walked into the fifth grade classroom...followed by many requests to "take my picture!" We tested the vision of over 200 people today and provided them with the needed glasses for simple near and far sighted-ness. Many of the recipients of glasses were children who are now able to see the board or their book clearly for the first time. After we tested the school kids, we opened it up to the locals in the colonia. There were a few children among this group, but mostly it was adults, adults who could not play cards or read their Bible or sew or read the paper. The gratitude on their faces made the pain in my trigger finger worthwhile. I shot over 1,000 images today! Wow!
