Helping Others

A godmother and her godchild along with a volunteer are pictured to the left.  This picture reminds me of all the wonderful people who visited the clinic in Ft. Belknap, Montana, and what great work we were able to come together to accomplish.  
Eye exams make such a difference for children!

Flying Eagle Boy


This seven-year-old boy danced in traditional Indian clothing tonight for the team as part of a very heart-felt celebration honoring our time bringing the gift of sight in Montana.
This boy's mother and grandmother both graciously volunteered all week in the clinic for our OneSight Regional Clinic here.
Flying Eagle Boy's father is currently serving in Iraq. He danced to honor not only him and his family tonight, but the team as well.

Picking Flowers



Pictured on the left, two children pick flowers during recess in Montana not far from the Canadian border.
Although, their school year is almost complete during our clinic week, we are able to serve the community at the Red Whip Community Center in Ft. Belknap, Montana.
Everyone is enjoying the flowers along the way...

Cowboys Love Glasses!


Imagine not being able to drive cattle, or round up animals to another portion of your land...pretty difficult to do if you can't see properly!

So yes, the answer is cowboys love glasses!!!
