The young participants of the Adventist Voluntary Service (SVA) project of the Central Bolivian Mission and OYiM (One Year in Mission) of the Bolivian Union held an Eye Health Fair in the town of Loma Linda in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
More than 160 people were cared for and helped by the 32 young volunteers, who, in addition to giving attention to the physical health of the participants by checking their vital signs and performing eye exams, also taught them the eight health laws, gave them information about the Covid-19 vaccine, and distributed missionary books to each person that they served.
In this group of young people, there were doctors, ophthalmologists, nutritionists, optometrists, and nurses who, in a joint effort, gave away 200 frames of lenses. As a result of this event, forty people agreed to receive a visit from a missionary, fifteen agreed to study the Bible and ninety agreed to pray together.
