SBLB Fall Vision Clinic

Hanover, Jamaica.
Dr. Kelbley joined See Better. Learn Better. in 2018 during her residency and she’s been part of the family ever since.
Over the years, her role as part of our vision clinics in Jamaica have helped sharpen her clinical skills, expand her perspective, and shape the way she cares for patients. Her years serving students at Mt. Airy and Negril All Age Schools have also created relationships that make every visit feel like coming home.
Now, as a member of our Board of Directors, Dr. Kelbley is using that experience to help us make an even greater impact.
We’re incredibly lucky to have you @paula.kelbley !, not only as a dedicated volunteer, but as a skilled clinician, passionate advocate, and leader helping See Better. Learn Better. reach even more students.
Awwwzzz, all grown up!… a little.
We first met Darnell in Grade 3, when a vision screening revealed that he was nearsighted. Since then, we’ve continued to examine his eyes and support him with the glasses he needs to see clearly and stay focused in the classroom.
Today, we’re proud to continue walking alongside Darnell on his learning journey.
Stories like these are encouraging and keep us going as we work to help more students see clearly, learn confidently, and reach their full potential.
Excited to see more of our students who’ve we’ve been tracking over the years.
It’s such a joy to watch @allisonmarie123 work!
The passion, that genuine care, and the love she pours into every child we serve is truly something special. She leads with purpose, works with incredible dedication, and brings so much heart to everything she does.
Through her work with @seebetterlearnbetter, Allison is helping bring the gift of vision care to children who need it most, but what stands out just as much is how she does it. With patience, compassion, excellence, and a genuine desire to see every child thrive.
