Dwaine and Joyce Heinrich of Jamestown are participating on a vision mission trip to provide the gift of sight to more than 1,000 Mexican citizens in need.
In partnership with the Puerto Vallarta Lions Club, Lions from seven different clubs in North Dakota — Fargo, Jamestown, Mandan, Bismarck, Minot and New England — will be seeing approximately 250 patients each day this week and are expected to distribute close to 800 pairs of glasses.
The local Lions Club in Puerto Vallarta arranged the appointments for patients.
Many of these patients are in poverty and do not have financial resources to purchase glasses. Several of them are grade-school children.
The mission trip is possible from fundraising efforts throughout the state.
