Dr. Rob Henslick is an eye doctor from Saddleback that has been bringing equipment and supplies and meds to Kenya for a few years now.
He and his wife, Michelle, and their cool kids, Nolan, Grant, and Josh, are all-out advocates for the sick and hurting and the dying in the Rift Valley of Kenya.
From the moment the Henslick family first touched down in Kenyatta Airport, they have been great examples of folks who use their voice to speak up for those who no one is listening to.
Rob and Michelle have taken a very simple but consistent approach to getting eye care resources to Sister Freda's Clinic.
He has trained dozens of non professionals to work alongside him and Michelle in testing and assessing and caring for the blind and the near blind.
The men and women... the boys and girls he treated on a recent mobile medical clinic to Pokot were typical of what he sees across the Rift...from Massai land to Mt Elgon to the desert of Kachleba.
Folks who lack the simplest eye care...
Eyes that have gone dark from very PREVENTABLE diseases...but there is no Dr. Rob to be found. 
Men and women who live in a very different world than those of us who take sight and light and health for granted.
