and look for a girl named Yorgeris about 2:48 minutes into the video._b.JPG)

When Renee and I first met Yorgeris, she was so severely cross-eyed that she could not function, could not walk any distance, did not attend school and was ostracized by the people in her village. As the result of two specialized eye surgeries by volunteer USA doctors, her vision is great and you could never tell that she has had any past issues with her eyes. When we see her in the video, we shed tears of joy, celebrating a transformed life.
May this Christmas season provide you opportunities to see the needs of others, and to get involved to transform lives.
Merry Christmas!
Dave & Renee Schertzer
