Dr. Mandadakis once again traveled to Havana, Cuba from February 9th to the 12th, 2010 for his annual volunteer mission.
Dr.
Mandadakis brought with him over 200 bottles of glaucoma medications and
100 pairs of new glasses to the clinic of Belen. 102 children were
examined during this time period.
Once
again, we would like to thank the various drug companies for their
medicinal donations as well as the frame and lens companies for their
generous contributions.
This
gathering was to celebrate the first graduates of one of the programs
Dr. Mandadakis initiated 4 years ago. The program was to help teach
Braille to the visually impaired.
