Eye Surgeries Campaign in Celaya Mexico

The Eye Surgeries Campaign is happening in Celaya, Mexico May 2-3, 2025. This is a great opportunity to bring the Gift of Sight to individuals who have been blind for many years unable to see the beautiful faces of their grandchildren. 

The activities we perform at the clinic are: welcoming patients, transporting them to and from the OR, helping in the recovery room feeding the patients, making the beds, taking pictures, documenting some of the family stories, etc, etc. Sometimes, we are allowed to be in the OR to observe one or two surgeries.  

• Home host is offered by our Rotarian friends. They provide breakfast and transportation to the clinic. Lunch at the clinic, usually there is dinner at a home or a restaurant.  
• The group is greeted at the airport and driven to Celaya to meet their home hosts.
• There are two airports you can fly to: El Bajio International Airport (BJX) in Leon and the Aeropuerto International de Queretaro (AIQ).
• It is recommended participants travel together to facilitate the pick-up/drop-off at the airport. 
• It is recommended arriving one day before the eye campaign to settle down and meet your home hosts. 
• We must let our hosts know if the group wants to travel to cities like San Miguel and/or Guanajuato. If they are able, they will drive the group and organize the tour. The participants can also make their own hotel and tour reservations. 

Our club participated in a Global Grant to purchase a Photocoagulator for the clinic, we'll have the opportunity to see the new equipment in action!
