Manning native and U.S. Navy Chaplain Cdr. Walter “Sonny” Dinkins leads volunteers through a refugee camp following a humanitarian mission to support medical, dental and eye clinics in Djibouti, Africa. Most children living in these refugee camps will not live to see their 35th birthday due to diseases like malaria and food shortages. More than 60 percent will suffer eye damage because they cannot afford sunglasses to protect them from the intense sub-Saharan sun. |
