AFWP NATIVE EYES Returns to Rosebud Reservation

In both May and August of this year we will be returning to Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, focusing this years free eye clinics on children. We are partnering with the Todd County School District, led by Superintendent Roberta Bizardie who will be hosting our travel clinics. In May, we will be taking care of children in Kindergarten, as well as first through third grades. When we return in August, we will be seeing children in fourth through seventh grades. Many children are struggling in school because they are not able to see properly. We have proven over the past 10 years that providing children with quality eye care is a vital part of their educational success. We wish to thank our doctors, opticians and travel teams. Our sponsors this year are Padre Pio Foundation of America, Essilor Foundation’s Changing Life Through Lenses, and Pine Pharmaceuticals. We are grateful to the generosity and commitment from everyone involved, without whom our work wouldn’t be possible.

NATIVE EYES

Our Artists for World Peace NATIVE EYES Travel Team 2023 just returned from completing our fourth-year commitment that we made to President Lionel Bordeaux and Chief Leonard Crow Dog. We want to thank our amazing teams-both our travel team, as well as our Rosebud team. Together, we provided free eye care to another 730 tribal members. This would not have been possible without our sponsors and the thousands of artists who are part of our 6x6 4 PEACE MOVEMENT! Please stay tuned. We will post the dates we return to distribute all of the eyeglasses that are currently being fabricated for us by Changing Life Through Lenses and Essilor.
