You can view photos of their last trip in January '07 to Sabalos, Nicaragua, a small village on the banks of the River San Juan. They flew in to Managua, the capital, took a small puddle jumper (plane) to San Carlos and then travelled about 3 hours down river by motorized canoe to get there. Their group examined and provided glasses to about 1000 patients during the week.
