AHMEN Teams,
We have just this past week received a substantial donation of equipment from Kenneth Lombart. You might recall he is the gentleman who last year donated the Optometric Chair, lamp and lamp stand that we sent down to Ciriboya. Mary is in the process of writing an e-mail to him thanking him for his generosity. She will copy that email to you when she completes it in case you want to also send a thank you. The equipment this year was a tabletop auto-refractor and an automatic lensmeter. We are in the process of having Holland Kendall retro fit both these machines to his automated system. We are thinking about placing the tabletop auto-refractor in Utila for our teams to use there.
We also sent out a request for funding assistance to those members of this year’s eye-teams to purchase one additional automated lensmeter. We have thus far received, or have pledged $1200. Another $600 and we will be able to dramatically improve the current eye-care program.
Amor en Cristo,
guf
