During out time with URMUL, Erik and I got to participate in a visit from Lord and Lady Nigel Crisp from England.  Lord Crisp is the Chairman of Sight Savers International, an organization that has partnered with URMUL to provide comprehensive eye-care services.  The visit consisted of field visits and meetings to review and observe the work and progress that has taken place as a result of this partnership.  It was a really interesting and fun day.  I wrote a report about the experience that I will also post for those who are interested in learning more about the program.
