Dozens of orphans from Cambodia are in Hawaii. Learning about our culture and getting a check up on their health. The children are all part of the program, "Email Foster Parents International."
They are in the islands to meet and stay with their foster parents for the first time. On Saturday, optometrists at Dr. Tyrie Jenkins' office in Honolulu performed free eye exams for the children who don't always have access to good health care.
"They were seeing below what is necessary to be able to function very well seeing at distance so we were able to provide them with a subscription for new glasses and that should really help them," Dr. Loretta Ng said.
The children will be staying in Hawaii for two weeks before heading back to Cambodia.
