VOSH-CA Ships lenses to NICARAGUA!
(05/25/2020) Recently, VOSH-CA received 80,000 lenses from a charity. On Memorial Weekend 2020, Greg Pearl O.D., and his wife Marion Pearl alongside David Stacy O.D., his wife Pat, son Jason and friend Dave all took time out of their busy schedules to repack all the lenses, counted and labeled them to ship to Nicaragua. Shoutout to the warehouse owner Ed York for letting us store the lenses there and having a crew ready to help us! It’s amazing people like this that make this organization possible. Even though the process was long and tedious, our team was ecstatic knowing that Nicaragua will have 80,000 more lenses to use in glasses for people in need.
Dr. Greg Pearl will meet up with several Optometry students in San Salvador on Sunday 24th of November 2019 to join the FUDEM campaign clinics in following locations:
