Our team of between 22 and 25 people travel to Pignon Haiti annually. Many of our team members return for multiple trips and have grown to deeply care about Haiti and the work we do there.
We work 12-15 hour days, seeing approximately 350 patients each day. Many of our patients walk for hours or days to see us and they have no other source of eyecare. We don't leave until the last patient is given an exam! "Golden tickets" are given to those that arrive too late to get on the surgery schedule. It's our promise to return next year and give them sight-restoring surgery.
Planning for our next mission trip begins as soon as we return from Haiti. Fundraising, procuring in-kind donations of supplies and team recruiting is always a priority. Our patients need us for consistent eyecare and we do what it takes to make sure we are there to serve them each year.
Credits may be available for mission/humanitarian work for eyecare professionals.
