Guyana - Project Dawn
A team of eye care specialists headed by Dr. Leeds Katzen and Dr. Brett Katzen, provided much needed medical and surgical care to the people of Guyana, South America. The mission was part of Project Dawn - Donors and Workers Now.
This organization is directed by Dr. Carmen Gannon, an internist and nun, who assisted in the daily clinic. Over the weeks of service in Guyana, the doctors Katzen examined hundreds of patients and performed as many sight-saving and restoring surgeries.
The doctors also provided medicines, instruments and basic necessities to these very poor and deserving people.
