A team of 12, including six "rookies" travelled to Merida, Mexico in the Yucatan peninsula. It was great to be welcomed by the Merida Lions as we excited the plane.In three days of clinic, we saw 945 patients and provided prescription glasses, sunglasses and needed medications for infections and glaucoma.
Forty patients were referred for follow-up cataract surgery and glaucoma maintenance. Lions Rodrigo and Alejandro were great hosts, as we were invited to Lions homes each night for a special home cooked dinner banquet.
It's incredible what can be accomplished in SERVICE with Lions working together, not speaking the same language, but doing everything possible to serve those in need. Thank you Lions of Merida for opening your homes and hearts to us.
