Ambassador Eaton visited the city of Arraijan on February 19 to support the Kansas chapter of the Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (VOSH). The Kansas volunteers, along with their Panamanian Rotary Club counterparts, have provided quality eye care to Panamanians who could not otherwise afford it on a biannual basis over the past fourteen years. The Embassy’s People-to-People coordinator facilitated the visit.

Ambassador highlighted the good that U.S. and Panamanian private citizens are achieving for both countries.
