Today started out breakfast at 6:30 then group photos at 7:30. It is starting to sink in that we are in the home stretch of our mission. Clinic today ran extremely smooth, and by the end we saw 1200 people, It’s really hard to put into words the sheer desperation and poverty of these people, as we ride our bus from our retreat to the clinic site it has become almost normal to see people living in cardboard boxes along the road, people bathing from pitchers along the route, small children roaming alone looking for handouts, we know it is not normal, but that it is heartbreaking, yet somehow we stay focused hoping, praying that what we do with Onesight will somehow break the cycle and allow there to be a glimmer of hope in our recipients lives. When your friends and family members get home, listen to their stories, try to understand what they saw, because you could never ever imagine these experiences unless you have seen what they have seen through their eyes. It has been a journey that none of us will forget! We can go home with warmth in our hearts knowing that this team made a difference in so many lives.
