[Leica] [OM] IMG: Las Familias

[Tina Manley]

I do.  I go back almost every year and will be returning this year in
September.  We will be conducting a cataract surgery survey for candidates
for our new cataract surgery center where we will bus in candidates and
hold clinics with ophthalmologists from the USA.  I do visit some of the
same families that I have stayed with over the last 30 years.  I have
updates on all of the families.  Many have left the country, looking for a
better life in the cities.  Today, they are leaving because they cannot
continue to grow their same beans and corn which they have always depended
on.  The NGOs I work with are working to teach them to grow crops that are
drought tolerant, but it's a long, slow process.  Some of the families that
I stayed with were lost during Hurricane Mitch.  I don't like to think of
them.  The family from Aguacate, posing outside their stick home with their
two children and a tiny dog, were never found.  I have records for all of
the families that I have ever stayed with in Honduras and Guatemala.
