All sorts of news Walter recently met with the Governor of Chihuahua who not only expressed appreciation for all we do for the people of his State but has promised additional security around the clinic and hotel to relieve any increased fears. _______________________________________________ A very successful mini-clinic was held from Wednesday May 12 to Sunday May 16. Josh Yudkin carried the load from the U.S. side working with a great team of Mexicans. See statistics under "Clinic Statistics" and pictures under "share our experiences" on the left side of the page (to be posted later today (5/24). Josh felt completely comfortable at the clinic in Guerrero and enjoyed the camaraderie of working with all of the local volunteers.

Another outcome of Walter's meeting with the Governor of the State of Chihuahua were two promises to help transport this building to the clinic as well as to help pour a foundation for the building. _______________________________________________ Robert Liener of A&A Optical in Dallas has made yet another donation of frames to the clinic. _______________________________________________ KIAH-TV interviewed Walter Branson and Tom Pruett about having to cancel the April clinic.
