The clinic outside of the Animo Ralph Bunche and Animo Justice campus.
Wednesday was my first day working as a tech on our mobile clinic, and it put me to the test! On our day of a series of events in partnership with Green Dot Public Schools, we visited Animo Ralph Bunche and Animo Justice. These schools share the same campus, so we were able to help students from both schools from one location.
These students were amazing! The results of the Green Dot program are apparent after talking to the kids that we saw. They’d just finished taking their PSAT test, and were articulate, polite, and eager to get their eyes examined. Looking back on myself at that age, I could have taken a cue or two from their manners and poise.
All of the students loved the selection of eyewear on the clinic, and were totally excited about the great brands available to them. Who wouldn’t be glad to wear glasses from Fendi, Coach, or Sean John?
Drs. Kurata and Silverman, the VSP network doctors who volunteered their time on the clinic Wednesday, were so gracious. They put students at ease, and were so efficient that we were able to keep to the schedule.
Vision is key to scholastic success, and these kids are college-bound! We were proud to be part of their path to accomplishment.
Victor was excited to model glasses for us.
