Dr. Alan Upchurch, Co-Vice President & Medical Coord.

``````````

Dr. Upchurch is a doctor of optometry (OD) in Texas, US. He faces many challenges in providing vision exams in remote areas but has developed a system that requires no language interpreters or outside electricity. He brings the bare basic, but technologically accurate, equipment that provides a thorough diagnosis. He partners with the local chapter of Lions International to collect discarded "recycled" eyeglasses to deliver to these patients. He is married and has 3 children.

Lou Ann Smith, President/Administrator

``````````

Lou Ann is the face behind the paperwork. She is the President and administration tool behind the scenes working to make reservations, confirm security documentation, provide bookkeeping services, and is the website administrator. Lou Ann is unable to travel on mission trips due to a life changing accident that left her a paraplegic. The last mission trip she attended was in June of 2004 to a remote village along the Amazon River in Brazil. It was an awesome experience teaching her that God is truly in control of our lives. God has placed her in this role for Amazon Charities and she loves it. Click here to read her story.
