The award was presented to VOSH-PA at the V/I Annual Meeting in Sanford, Florida on Oct 14, 2006 for constructing three Vincent Pescatore Eye Clinics in Guatemala; the Peten, the City and Jutiapa. The clinics which are now sustainable employ about 50 full time Guatemalans, including 5 ophthalmologists, one of whom is pediatric-trained and two optometrists.
Dr. Villela received a clock made by employees with low vision who work at The Chicago Lighthouse. It will hang in the reception room at the Vincent Pescatore Hospital in Peten, Guatemala.
