Rebecca C., Terrace, B.C. - Optometrist

"Ecuador was my third project with TWECS and each one has been an incredible experience.  It is humbling to witness the grace and dignity of the people we serve, and their gratitude for the small amount of help we can offer to improve their lives.  There is absolutely nothing like the light in the eyes of a person who can see clearly for the first time, or see again after many years.  I spent most of my time in Ecuador very close to tears; it was very emotional.  The other wonderful part of a TWECS project is the camaraderie of the team.  The bonds we create in our shared experience last for years.  I wish everyone could be lucky enough to share in a TWECS mission."
