One Sight Nakhonratchasima, Thailand 2010

Hello!!!
If you are interested in virtual participation in our upcoming OneSight Clinic to Thailand, then you have landed on the right blog! Our team of 35 volunteers and doctors from the United States, Italy, Israel, Croatia, England, Canada, Hungary and France will spend two weeks in Nakhonratchasima providing complete eye exams and glasses to thousands of people who otherwise could not afford to see the world clearly.

Each day, right here on this very page, we will be posting highlights from our vision care clinic including stories of our recipients, the team experience and a little about Thailand itself. We land in Nakhonratchasima on Monday January 25th and will be posting messages and photographs through Friday February 5th. Be sure to log on every day so you don't miss a minute of the excitement!

Here's a little background about Onesight and our Global Clinics: Onesight is a family of charitable programs dedicated to improving vision through outreach, research and education. Sponsored by Luxottica Group. Onesight programs have helped more than 7 million people over its 20 year history.

Each year, Onesight conducts two week clinics in developing countries where our doctors and trained volunteers provide free eye exams and recycled eyewear to thousands of people in need. To date, we've run 155 clinics in 31 different developing countries. This year, we have planned 20 clinics in developing countries around the world.
