WANT TO HOST A MISSION?

Those who would like to serve as hosts should be prepared to provide living quarters for members of the mission team, to arrange for an appropriate location for surgery, and to organize local doctors to handle advance screening of patients and, later, post-operative care.

In order to carry out a mission of this type, it is necessary for the people in the host country to make arrangements for us to get all the supplies and equipment that we bring with us through customs. Also, we require help in transporting those supplies to the location where the mission will take place. This is extremely important because, between the medical supplies and our personal luggage, we will have approximately 20 pieces of luggage weighing about 1,000 pounds.

We require that a doctor be selected to serve as the medical coordinator for the mission. Those interested in hosting eye missions should contact World Blindness Outreach, Inc., at 1510 Cornwall Road, Lebanon, PA 17042, USA. Telephone (717) 273-0662 or email us at aalley@comcast.net.
