started today with a large attendance. The Hope House retreat / conference center was the kick off point for this years conference designed to train health care professionals from all regions of Africa in techniques for eye care. Doctors, nurses, and educators from many African regions are in attendance to hear from the team of eye professionals from the US and Canada. It was very gratifying to see such a large number of people fill the conference center.
Dr. Linda Lawrence has assembled a great team of eye care professionals that are sharing their
knowledge and techniques with conference attendees who will in turn use this knowledge in their home locales. After the opening ceremonies with speeches from government dignitaries which included the minister of health, groups formed to hear from the presenters. In the afternoon part of the presenters traveled across town to the ABU teaching hospital to work with the doctors there.This is really a big event and a very important first for the Hope House to be the nucleus of learning and the facilitator of an
important health conference in Nigeria.
