Lions Helping in Times of Pandemic
The special DLC meeting last Tuesday night featured a theme of sustainability and an introduction to the eyesight projects being conducted by our newly sponsored Ulaanbaatar Gegee Lions Club. Denver Lion Susy Osorio-Kinsky reviewed our 3 trips to Mongolia in 2017-19, and Gegee Lion Sugarmaa Enebish focused her ensuing presentation on an introduction to Mongolian culture and on the Club's efforts to do eyesight screenings in rural areas during the pandemic.
More than 40 people from 3 countries - Mongolia, the US and Ecuador - across 14 time zones attended. Colorado participants included representatives from the Office of the Honorary Consul to Mongolia and Denver Sister Cities and an optometrist from the Englewood Lions Club. Mongolia participants included 3 of the Club's ophthalmologists.
