"I CAN SEE!"

We would like to, once again, thank Stitching Livada and eye doctors George de Jong and Johnny Roem of Stichting Zienderogen for the eye exams they completed on the Livada staff and kids as well as over 300 kids and staff who live and work in State care. About 80 glasses were made and sent for everyone who needed them. From the day the doctors left, the children asked NONSTOP when their glasses would arrive! They waited with much anticipation!



These past two weeks we have had the opportunity to hand out the glasses, and the kids have been thrilled to receive them! One kid ran up to me and said, “I can see!” and another teenage boy made up a little song claiming “I have glasses! na na na na na! I have glasses!” It has been so exciting to watch these children and teenagers faces light up as many of them can truly see well for the first time!




Eye care has been one of our greatest needs over the past few years, but with so many children in need, it seemed impossible to fill this need. Praise God that with Him, nothing is impossible, and that He provided skilled doctors and a generous foundation to not only perform eye exams for everyone we work with, but also to provide beautiful, custom glasses for every need!
