Seeing Beyond Borders
(Shot by Peter Musurlian in California and Mexico)

Throughout the world, Lions clubs focus on the blind and visually impaired, a mission inspired by Helen Keller.

In one of their most successful programs, called Lions Recycle for Sight, discarded eyeglasses are collected and sent to recycle centers to have their prescriptions determined with a lensometer. Then the glasses are delivered to remote and/or poor areas of the world, for use by people, who often times have never owned a pair of glasses.

Seeing Beyond Borders follows Lions volunteers to San Juanito, Mexico, to see the process that brings the world, for so many grateful people, back into focus.
