Imagine being unable to see clearly the faces of your family and friends or being unable to work because you cannot see well enough to read. Millions of residents in North Africa experience impaired vision and struggle with issues such as these. You can help solve this problem for many of them by providing a simple pair of glasses.
We will be traveling to a culturally diverse country, home to approximately 18 ethnic groups. These include freed African-American, Afro-Caribbean slaves and liberated Africans. English is the official language, however Krio and French is spoken by 97% of the population.
By joining Unto® as a member of this mission team, you will travel to a desert nation to host eyeglass clinics. At the clinics you will have opportunity to interact with hundreds of local people one-to-one as you assess their vision and provide glasses. In so doing, you will demonstrate the kindness of Jesus.
This is the first time to this country. We will stay in Freetown a couple days, but the majority of our time will be spent in the North where conditions will be more primitive.
Yellow Fever vaccination required.
No medical experience is required. At the start of the trip, participants will receive training for testing vision and fitting glasses.
