Events
During the week of January 19-27, 2008, Dr. Ginsberg traveled to
Nandaime, Nicaragua, to participate in a mission which provided eye
and medical care to thousands of indigent people. Nandaime is a
small village in the Masaya district of western Nicaragua. It is
located about an hour or so from the capital city of Mangua. This
was Dr. Ginsberg's tenth trip to Nicaragua. Our group consisted of
approximately 65 volunteers from throughout the United States, all
of varying professions, including optometrists, internists,
opticians, nurses, physical therapists and dentists. Almost 4000
people were provided with eye examinations, medical and dental exam
and wheelchairs, most for their first time in their life. Physical
therapists fit and dispensed 100 new, heavy duty all-terrain
wheelchairs. Many eye diseases were treated, over 1800 eyeglasses
were dispensed from our library of 12,000 pairs, and 50 patients had
cataract surgery. It was a rewarding and demanding experience for
all people who participated, and one that will bring many who went,
back to Nicaragua again for years to come. To read more about this
mission or previous trips, please visit the VOSH Website at
