Join Artists for World Peace (AFWP), the AFWP medical travel team, and the Padre Pio Foundation of America for a free community event highlighting the impact of the AFWP NATIVE EYES Clinics.
Since 2016, this collaborative mission has provided free eye care to 8,908 tribal and community members in Tanzania, Connecticut, and South Dakota.
Guests will hear stories from the medical travel team, view footage from past clinics, and learn how they can help bring life-changing care and hope to children and families in underserved Native communities. Light refreshments will be served, and a small section of the AFWP Peace Wall will be available for viewing and purchase. Please RSVP by visiting padrepio.com/seeing-is-believing-event/
