Jamestown, North Dakota - Dwaine and Joyce Heinrich of Jamestown are participating on a vision mission trip to provide the gift of sight to more than 1,000 Mexican citizens in need.

In partnership with the Puerto Vallarta Lions Club, Lions from seven different clubs in North Dakota - Fargo, Jamestown, Mandan, Bismarck, Minot and New England - will be seeing approximately 250 patients each day this week, from Sunday through Wednesday, and are expected to distribute close to 800 pairs of glasses. The Lions Club in Puerto Vallarta is making appointments for patients.

Many of these patients are in poverty and do not have financial resources to purchase glasses. Several of them are grade-school children.

The mission trip is possible from fund raising efforts throughout the state.

The Puerto Vallarta Lions Club is located at Madero #280 on the South Side of Vallarta.
