MCI's Eighth Eye Care Outreach
April 6, 2019
Dr. Minda Rodriguez, an ophthalmologist, Dr. Magdalena Sta.Ana, MCI
President Dr. Aland Mizell, and Attorney Susan Cariaga donated eye
care service to Buhangin District, Brangay Mandug, Davao City, on
April 6, 2019 along with a team of MCISA college students organized
through Minority Care International Student Association. MCI
distributed more than 350 new eyeglasses. MCI extends its thanks to
Dr. Rodriguez, Attorney Cariaga, Dr. Magdalena Sta.Ana, and MCI
scholars for their amazing work. MCI’s goal for this ongoing project
is to provide eyeglasses to improve vision and to give free eye
check-ups to economically struggling communities. Last year MCI
distributed more than 400 eyeglasses and gave eye check-ups for more
than 1500 people, all of whom were adults. MCI alumni who are
registered nurses gave free blood pressure screening for the
community. Many of the people who received the free eye check-ups
and eyeglasses are very happy because they can now see clearly as
they read. The eye care clinic is an outreach project for students
to practice compassionate servanthood, one that draws a variety of
disadvantaged people to receive eye exams and free eyeglasses. This
was a meaningful project for our students who enjoyed serving to
fulfill this community need. Thank you, MCI.
