The clinic is located in Granada, Nicaragua. It is in a boys' Catholic school and has two exam lanes. We also have an edging lab with patternless edger. Trip dates with the missionary group are listed to the right.

You do not have to go with the group. Arrangements can be made for you to go anytime. You do not have to stay as long as the group. You can custom-tailor your trip to fit your schedule and go anytime and stay as long or as little as you wish.

You will have translators by your side while you examine patients. All instruments and equipment are there. Suggest you take your personal retinoscope and charger if you wish.

The hotels are very comfortable. This is NOT a rough trip. There is an outstanding restaurant near the hotel as well as many which serve very good food with local flavor which you will enjoy.

You will fly into Managua and be taken to your hotel in Granada and back to the airport when you leave.

Cost of the trip is $750.00 to $1000.00 depending on how long you stay. Everything in Granada is inexpensive.

Stipends, to help offset your costs, are available through the OAL. Please contact your zone chair or the OAL office for details on this.
