Vision: Life Changing
Volver a Ver es Volver a Vivir
ShuarHands, Inc. funded cataract surgery for indigenous villagers living in extreme poverty in rural areas in San Marcos. The surgeries of 146 villagers from Tacana/Sibinal, and 121 villagers from San Rafael Pie de la Cuesta have improved vision. They now return to self-independence. We welcome donations to our Eye Programs. Volver a Ver es Volver a Vivir!
