Hi Holland,
I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to use the optometry equipment. It was such a
blessing to the children and community of Spring Valley.
I wanted to share one story with you of the campus electrician who came through the clinic.
He has worked hard his whole life to provide for his family and at 40 years old he had never had
an eye exam. After going through the clinic and getting a pair of glasses, he went from 20:100 to
20:20 vision. He couldn’t stop smiling and kept saying “It’s a whole new world!”,
That is just one story of how the optometry clinic changed people’s lives. We saw 1000 people
total between both clinic days. We had many muslims come through the clinics, who would have
never stepped foot into a Christian Church if it weren’t for the clinics we were able to provide
and during the reading exam they all read from the bible. What an amazing opportunity to spread
God’s word. It was truly a wonderful sight to see. I am so happy that we were able to share this
with Spring Valley.
So thank you again and I have attached a few photos from the clinic.
Thanks!
Bailey Manuel
