International Service: Eye Surgeries in Celaya

Luz Maria Ortiz is seeking club members to participate in a project with the Rotary Club of Celaya Nat-Tha-Hi. A SEE International cataract surgical clinic will be held in Celaya, Mexico on April 26-27. Volunteer Rotarians will perform various activities such as check-in patients, visit with families of patients, assist nursing staff with supplies and pre-operative preparations, and assist surgical staff with patients. Additionally, Celaya Nat-Tha-Hi Rotary will be celebrating its 33rd anniversary and would like to celebrate with Sunrise Rotarians. Flights will be made into Leon (Bajio Airport) and transportation and home hosting will be provided by the local Rotarians.

 

Doing a service visit abroad can be one of the most memorable experiences you can have as a Rotarian. If interested, contact Luz Maria Ortiz so she may begin coordinating lodging and transportation. 

 

Surgical Eye Expeditions (SEE) International, a non-profit humanitarian organization that provides medical, surgical and educational services, provided volunteer ophthalmic surgeons for the two-day clinic.

 

The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise has a long and successful relationship with the Rotary Club of Celaya Nat-Tha-Hi and SEE International collaborating on cataract surgery missions for over 25 years.
