Help Children See The Beautiful World As Clearly As They Should
New Vision brings 20/20 vision and a brighter world today and hope for tomorrow to the children of El Salvador by providing free glasses to the under served.
Being a well known and respected doctor in El Salvador, Samuel meets dozens of people every day. He identifies the children who are in need of help. He and his cousin, Marce Santos, see about 25 children at a time, ages 8-16. Sometimes, as many as one-half of them need glasses.
Parents and guardians bring their children in for eye testing. Samuel's cousin, Marce, determines the appropriate glasses that will help each child’s vision problem.
When you donate, we use 100% of your money to help a child see the world anew. Any donation you give could change so much in the life of a child.
We accomplish so much more when donations are made to New Vision to help us change the lives of children in El Salvador. Putting new glasses on a child is a great accomplishment.
El Salvador is a small tropical country in Central America with a beautiful Pacific coastline. One can walk on the beach, climb to the top of El Boqueròn volcano for a breathtaking view, or marvel at the blue water of Lago de Coatepeque which is fed by hot waters from a volcano, all in one day.

Pairs of Glasses Provided
While June was visiting in El Salvador, she and Samuel had many conversations about varied topics, including wearing glasses. As June thought about her own childhood experience with glasses, she asked how much glasses for children cost in El Salvador. That was the beginning of an inspiration that grew into a reality. June says, “Helping children with vision problems was something we believed we could do together with my raising money in Jonesboro and Samuel taking care of the logistics in El Salvador.” June and Samuel are beyond grateful for the support they have received because the donations are changing the lives of children. Since the beginning in September, almost 150 children have received new glasses. There are many more children who need our help. Because the need is so great, June continues to tell Dr. Samuel’s story and the beginning of New Vision Children ES to local churches, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, seeking support for this amazing cause that is transforming the lives of children in El Salvador. When you donate to New Vision Children ES, you are helping to change the life of a child in El Salvador. That is an amazing contribution!

The power of providing new vision glasses to these children is paying off. Here is another group who now have 20/20 vision 🙂
When the paths of June Williams and Dr. Samuel Tejada crossed, they realized that their desire to serve others could be combined into a mission/project that would have a lasting impact. They chose New Vision because it helps the most vulnerable and less fortunate. Giving 20/20 vision to children in El Salvador “changes their lives” according to Dr. Samuel. Doing better in school will be one of the first and most obvious changes.
At New Vision Children ES, we believe that every child deserves the chance to succeed. We believe that eye defects should not hinder the children of El Salvador from achieving their dream of a better life.
