For the past several years, Dr. Robert Lehmann, a local Opthamologist, and his staff have processed and coded glasses that have been donated and collected by the local Lion's Club for each year's trip. It may be possible to earn college or university credit for participation in an annual trip. In year's past nursing students have gained course credit for preparatory work and back ground research on the Mayan people and the primary medical needs of Belize. Several of the current members of the group teach at local universities and may be contacted to see if a special tutorial course can be arranged for elective credit. Contact the trip coordinator for more information.
All donations are tax exempt and go solely toward the purchase of medications for each year's trip.
Our treasurer is Pam Mueller. There are no administrative expenses as all such costs are borne by the participants. For more information on this past year's trip, Belize 2000, click here.
