Manhattan, New York (January 2023)

Rainbow Vision participated in a community resource fair in Manhattan, New York, called the "Open Arms Resource Fair," in January 2023. Through this community outreach program, we provided vision tests for hundreds of recent immigrants, asylum seekers, and their families of all ages. We were able to identify many who needed eyeglasses or medical treatment, provided them with new prescription eyeglasses to improve their vision, and offered medical advice, all free of charge. We at Rainbow Vision very much appreciate the opportunity to improve the lives of those we met at the resource fair and wish them the best under the trying circumstances they are currently experiencing.

Dominican Republic (April 2022)

Our trip to the Dominican Republic allowed us to visit an elementary school named Centro Educat Vo Bomba De Yaiba in a rural part of the country in early 2022. Several hundred children were tested for vision problems, many for the first time, and a number of students were found to need eyeglasses to improve their vision. New eyeglasses were made and sent to the school to be distributed to the students all free of charge.
