Allison C., Nanaimo, B.C. - Optometrist

"This is my second mission with TWECS and it was just as rewarding as the first.  It amazes me how, within 48 hours, eighteen strangers become good friends.  It is very uplifting to be able to give sight to people who do not have access to any eye care.  You see a patient who cannot see past their arm put on glasses and see 20/30.  The amazement of their face is something you will always remember.  It is a lot of hard work but there is also time for play.  With TWECS there is opportunity to have  down time and experience the wonders of the country.  On this trip, half of us went canyoneering which was a great adventure with beautiful scenery.  I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in doing volunteer work to join this wonder organization."
