The Annual Kids in Sight project undertaken by the Lions of Zone 3B in partnership with the Saint Lucia Blind Welfare Association and the Lions of Michigan took place between February 01 - 08, 2014. The Team comprising Lions and Specialist visits Saint Lucia to perform corrective surgery on a number children as well as screening and sight preservation education. In addition workshops are held with the nurses at the District Health Centers to provide them with insights into eye screening. The Team's visit is also supported by the Government of Saint Lucia as all surgeries are undertaken at the local hospitals free of charge. The equipment brought in by the specialists remain at the eye ward at Victoria Hospital, the island;;s main hospital This year the Scope which is used to conduct the surgeries was brought in at a cost of approximately $50,000 US. This was possible by grant funding from Lions International as well as matching funds by the lions of Zone 3B. A detailed report on the visit will be submitted to the club following the review meeting. The Castries club hosted the Team on one of its clinic days at the Blind Welfare Association.

The Team as usual were satisfied with the work undertaken as well as the reception and support received by the Lions and Leos of Zone 3B. The Lions and Leos are ever grateful for the support provided by Lions International and the Lions of West Virginia to the people of Saint Lucia
