Adopt a Pueblo

E-mail Print

In spring 2008 the Gold Country chapter of LMV began a program called Adopt A Pueblo, which seeks to unite community organizations with specific villages in Mexico. Organizations like Rotary Clubs and Lions Clubs can decide to help fund part of the cost of sending personnel abroad to work in medical and dental clinics, allowing LMV to expand the number of missions undertaken and people helped. These organizations receive a certificate of appreciation from the village and a year-long membership to LMV, during which individuals from those groups can choose to participate more fully by attending chapter meetings and working at clinics.

Eyeglass Project

E-mail Print

Recently, LMV was invited to partner with the Auburn Lions Club on a project called the Folsom Prison Project for the Visually Impaired. Lions International collects eyeglasses in hundreds of intake bins. Next, these eyeglasses are taken to the Folsom prison, where they are repaired, cleaned, and labeled. Finally, LMV takes them to our clinics in Mexico, Southeastern California and Latin America, where villagers can get their eyesight tested and get fitted for a pair of glasses. Thank you to the Auburn Lions for establishing such an effective program!

To become a partner or suggest a project, contact us.

In their own words

"By nature, I'm not the type to volunteer. But four days in Mexico with LMV had a discernible effect on me. It felt better and more rewarding than a week on the beach in Hawaii. I will definitely return," Michael Martinez, volunteer
