Today at the Children of Love Foundation we helped find glasses for someone with a -13 prescription. As soon as she put on the first pair she shouted 'Muy Claro!!' She was probably seeing clear for the first time in a very long time. We had 5 students from the University here in Honduras helping translate. This helped everything move much quicker. We gave out prescriptions, drops and sunglasses to many on the local police force. We distributed many glass wipes and eye drops. We gave away 182 pairs of glasses. We've helped people from age 4 to 97 years old. We also gave out some small toys, stuffed animals and candy to the children in line.
Pastor John and helpers Tom and Nick repaired with some help from Mary and Karen helped repair the network connection into the church. They also continued the work on showers, toilets, lights and even a doorknob. Above you can also see Tom doing a bit of laundry.
Thank you again to everyone who made this trip possible through contributions, donations and the sacrifice of a family member or staff member for a week.

Wish I was there with you all! Give all the kids a hug for me.
