This is my short story. When I first heard that Eye Care International was going to come to Santa Rosa, El Salvador, and they were looking for volunteers who were learning English and wanted to interpret in the medical field, I didn't hesitate and said yes at once. This was my first proper experience interpreting in that field and, thanks to that opportunity, I realized what I really wanted to be in my life. I realized that I wanted to be a medical interpreter in that moment, and helping others to obtain the help that they needed is just gratifying and fills me with happiness.
Also, a huge thanks to those volunteers, doctors, nurses, and team leaders without whom this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you to all of the people of Eye Care International for all the help that they provide to those most in need. I really hope this organization continues growing to help more and more people all over the world.
I enjoyed sharing a meal with some members of the team and learning about their different backgrounds. It made me happy that there are still good people in this world and that despite their busy schedules, they set aside a moment to help others.
