Purpose: to test the eyes of poor people, then fit them with glasses and also detect the early onset of blindness. Further potential: to supply basic equipment to elementary school teachers that allows pre-screening of students.

13. 13 Project Goal #2 To supply 7 suites of refurbished hospital equipment to the Regional Hospital de Mercedes in Chiclayo. Purpose: to help service the medical needs of poor people in Chiclayo.

19. 19 How many Eye-Glasses is enough? Discussions with optometrists in New England and Australia suggested that 50,000 pairs of used glasses is appropriate. HELP! A Rotarian in the Framingham club, who is also a Lions club member, worked the magic and a great new relationship has been forged! The Lions of District 33-S, in particular the Dighton club, are also very active in eye-glass projects. They donated 14,000 pairs of glasses to this joint project!

22. 22 So the fun begins, because: Peruvian State of Lambayeque will truck the container from Paita to Chiclayo. Work closely with the Chiclayo club. Celebrate this wonderful collaboration of non-profit organizations.

23. Last Thought Think about the leverage that is available by partnering with other organizations. That is strongly advocated by the Rotary Foundation. 23 It’s COOL !
