Lions bring eyeglasses and more to San Pancho, Mexico

Poulsbo Lion Martina Ferguson-Hazen recently traveled to San Pancho, Mexico, to help give out reading glasses, sunglasses, and glass cases for 3-1/2 days of clinic. Lion volunteers bring totes filled with supplies to give out, needing to speak some Spanish while testing people's eyes and giving them eyeglasses we've collected and refurbished. This time, 780 people showed up for vision help.

These eye exams and glasses are so meaningful in areas such as this.

People were happy with a nice selection of sunglasses.

People could select cases to keep their eyeglasses and sunglasses in good condition.

Sunglasses are needed in such sunny places.
