Letter: A Bluffton Lions mission to the British Virgin Islands

Posted by Staff on May 24, 2024 - 6:00am

By Bluffton Lion Barbara Plaugher
VOSH-Ohio Mission Coordinator

Tortola, British Virgin Islands, April 22-26, 2024__While providing an optometric mission into St. Maarten in 2023, a representative from Tortola asked if VOSH Ohio would also provide eye care for their students and some adults. We agreed and within a month from our St. Maarten clinic, VOSH Ohio received a formal invitation from Tortola BVI, signed by Lion Daphodil, stating their desire for a clinic to be held in the spring of 2024.

After Brenda, the VOSH Ohio president, asked me if I would like to coordinate this mission, due to her involvement with Costa Rica in February 2024, I quickly said “YES.”. Coordinating missions has been my passion since I first became involved in 1994.  This mission would be the 30th year of my participation. John Conrad, OD agreed to become the lead optometrist.

Early in the process of developing a mission I always ask our host if we can get through customs.  I worked with Lions Linda and Carlene. There have been teams unable to get through customs that have either turned around and gone home or that decided to spend their time on vacation in the country.
