Blog: Week Two

Watching a community rally together for the welfare of others is a humbling and beautiful thing to behold. I feel so blessed to get to join with you in this effort.

After just the first weekend of donation collection for The Eyeglass Project, we already have well over 400 pairs. That is a lot of lives to be changed.

Thank you so much for your generosity. As we are accruing glasses donations, we are also solidifying the details of our trip to the Dominican Republic. We have our visit on the calendar for May 2012. Time to install my Rosetta Stone! TIME Ministries will be providing translators but I would at least like to be able to talk about the weather and ask for directions by May. I’m already pretty solid on my colors and animal names.

If you are interested in donating eyeglasses, we will maintain drop locations at both Hunter Vision (located in the RDV Sportsplex) and at Northland Church. In addition, Hunter Vision will have booths set up at the following events over the next week:
