On Tuesday, November 6 will have our Service Tuesday.   This is an opportunity for Lions to do a service project and have lunch and fellowship with other Lions and guests.  It will be a hands-on project.   See below for location.

This service project will be assembling kids backpacks with medical supplies to go to kids in countries and communities in need.  The backpack has basic "medicine cabinet" items that are scarce in the developing world. If a child gets hurt, families might have to travel a long distance by bicycle, bus or even on foot to receive care at the nearest hospital or medical clinic.  

We are partnering with Project Cure for the backpacks.

DLC’s International Eyesight Missions is planning a screening campaign to Senegal in early January. Clinics are scheduled for January 2^nd through the 7^th. There will be time beforehand and afterward for touring around Dakar, where the campaign will take place.

We will be screening needy Senegalese for vision problems and distributing eyeglasses. Our plan is also to conduct eye surgeries, especially strabismus surgeries on young children. We will collaborate with one or more Lions Clubs in Dakar.

In January 2016, we conducted a screening campaign in Thiemping, Senegal, near the border with Mauritania. We worked for 5 days there and saw over 1,000 patients. We distributed 450 pairs of single vision eyeglasses for distance vision and 410 readers.
