Special
Events
During the week of January 24-February 1, 2009, Dr. Ginsberg
traveled to El Salvador in the area of Usulutan, near the lower Rio
Lempa river region, to participate in a mission which provided eye
and medical care to thousands of indigent people. This was Dr.
Ginsberg's eleventh trip to Central America. The NEVOSH group was
considerably smaller than past years. Approximately 45 volunteers
made the trek to Central America. The group stayed in a guesthouse
in Nueva Esperanza, a self-sustained farming community, about 15
minutes from our clinic site. The volunteers, who came from
throughout the United States, consisted of optometrists, opticians,
internists, audiologists, nurses and many others. Almost 3000
people were provided with eye examinations, medical and audiological
exams, many for the first time in their life. Many eye diseases were
treated, and over 1100 eyeglasses were dispensed from our library of
12,000 pairs. It was a demanding yet rewarding experience for all
people who participated, and one that will bring many who went, back
to El Salvador again for years to come. To read more about this
mission or previous trips, please visit the VOSH Website at
