9-feet wide, 14-feet high and has 410 square feet with a
state-of-the-art surgical suite and two examination rooms.
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. - The Board of Directors of the Armenian EyeCare
Project (AECP) is proud to announce that the John and Hasmik
Mgrdichian Foundation has generously donated $100,000 to the Project's
Initiative, "Bringing Sight to Armenian Eyes."
We are most grateful the Foundation joins us in our mission to
eliminate preventable blindness in Armenia and for their continuing
and loyal support.
The Board of Directors is very appreciative of the foundation's most
generous gift. Their support is testimony of their confidence in the
work of the Armenian EyeCare Project and its eye care programs, which
have treated more than 600,000 and restored the sight of 50,000
through Cataract and other surgeries.
Founded in 1992, and incorporated in 2002, the Armenian EyeCare
Project is a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation. Over
the past 21 years-with programs that combat the causes of
blindness-the Project has been able to treat eye disease, restore
sight and change lives.
In 2003, the Project's 18-Wheel Mobile Eye Hospital (MEH) traveled by
boat from Vermont, where it was constructed, to the country of Georgia
and then by truck to Yerevan. The Project's hub of regional service
delivery, the MEH travels throughout the regions of Armenia delivering
quality eye care to children and adults living in the outlying
villages who otherwise would not have access to eye care services. The
MEH physicians and support staff have traveled to all marzes in
Armenia at least twice providing outreach and education, diagnostic
examinations, prescription eyeglasses, medical treatment and
sight-restoring surgery as charitable services at no cost to the
Armenian people-bringing the gift of sight to thousands.
The John and Hasmik Mgrdichian Foundation's participation in the
Armenian EyeCare Project's programs will change lives and directly
contribute to the elimination of preventable blindness in Armenia.
Their donation demonstrates their resolve to help provide eye care for
Armenians in need and their support will have a profound impact on
thousands of lives through the restoration of sight. To donate please
