2023 Summer Tour

The 2023 Summer Tour has officially rolled to a stop. It was a huge success and hundreds of kids in the region are kicking off their school year with the glasses they need!

This summer we met some amazing kids, including Rani and his cousins Darin, Nadin, and Tymur. Last year, Rani's mom brought her sister's family to the United States to escape war in their native Ukraine.

These cool cousins have picked up exceptional English-speaking skills in just a year, and all four cousins had comprehensive eye exams. Darin and Tymur received glasses, and their aunt documented the entire process for their family, so impressed with the services available for kids!
