Also impactful for me were two brothers from Chiapas who had a condition affecting both of their eyes, and whose family took a six-hour journey to have them examined.

After their surgery, both brothers were able to attend regular school. However, during a follow-up appointment, it was discovered that they were both nearsighted, even after the operation. Local teachers began collecting donations to buy them glasses. They then traveled six hours again to the city of Tuxla and back to purchase two pairs of glasses with our prescription.
