Volunteer Testimonials

I love the opportunity to serve patients

"This is my 5th trip to Jamaica. I love the opportunity to serve patients and glorify God by helping to improve people's vision. The most rewarding thing for me is to see the improved vision and the benefit to the patient's life because of it."

- Dr. James Knowles, Dayton, Ohio

I've done 13 mission trips to Jamaica

"I've done 13 mission trips to Jamaica. I come on the trips because I can use my skills to help improve lives by improving their vision. Jamaican patients visibly demonstrate the difference when their patches are removed, and they can see. It's a different feeling than I've experienced in other countries."

- Mandi Grissom, Ohio

Because I've been blessed, I'm gonna be a blessing.

"So glad I was able to be part of the team and help so many children. Because I've been blessed, I'm gonna be a blessing."

- Dr Sherita Brown, Georgia (Children's Vision Clinic Dr.)

This is my 10th mission trip

"This is my 10th mission trip. It gives me an opportunity to serve people and gives them a chance to better their lives and have better vision. Jamaicans are so loving and excited to see us. They embrace us with smiles and hugs. Watching them being able to see the day after surgery is the best feeling, knowing that you've changed their lives forever!"

- Catharine "Kate" Hemker
