Imagine a world where preventable blindness no longer limits a person's future. At ACE Global, that is the future we are actively building. For years, our teams have worked at the intersection of medicine and international development to deliver sight-restoring care and build sustainable infrastructure in Honduras.

Right now, we are at a beautiful turning point. Over the next five years, we are intentionally shifting toward full Honduran self-sufficiency, placing long-term leadership and ownership completely in local hands.

To help fund and secure this transition, we are looking for an entrepreneurial, senior fundraising professional to join us as a Fractional Director of Development. This is a part-time, 1099 independent contractor role requiring about 10 to 25 hours per week.

Here is what the role involves:
🔹 Location: Remote (U.S.-based) with occasional travel.
🔹 Primary Focus: Helping us close the remaining $800K on our active capital campaign.
🔹 Core Strategy: Designing and growing a diversified annual giving program to sustain our operations long-term.
🔹 Collaboration: Partnering closely with both our U.S. and Honduran boards to deepen donor relationships.

If you have over seven years of nonprofit fundraising experience, a gift for major donor stewardship, and a desire to make a lasting global impact, we would love to meet you.

We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis. You can view the full job description and submit your resume and cover letter directly through our application portal here: https://form.jotform.com/261483858564067

Another incredible week for our Teaching Travel Team in Comayagua, Honduras! 🇭🇳✨

True sustainable change in global eye care doesn't just come from performing surgeries; it comes from sharing knowledge. This week was a beautiful masterclass in mentorship and collaboration across specialties.

In Oculoplastics, visiting surgeon Dr. Ryan Scruggs led the charge, backed by the incredible guidance of Dr. David Silva and former fellow Dra. Nicolle Ruiz. Meanwhile, Dr. Sharmila Segar headed up our Pediatric Ophthalmology team, bringing vital care to some of our youngest patients.

While our current fellows spent the week sharpening their specialized skills, we also welcomed two brand-new fellows to the ACE Global family: Dra. Andrea Cecilia Berríos Ferrufino (Oculoplastics) and Dr. F***y Marla Martínez Zambrana (Anterior Segment)! 👏

Dra. Cecilia and Dra. F***y joined the teams in the operating room, experiencing firsthand the deep support, real-time mentorship, and encouragement that our travel teams bring when they visit. By investing in these brilliant local doctors, we aren't just treating blindness today; we're ensuring high-quality eye care is available for generations to come.

Thank you to our incredible volunteers, donors, and partners who make these teaching missions possible. Your support keeps our teams moving and learning. 💙

This Memorial Day, we at ACE Global pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Their courage and selflessness represent the very best of the human spirit.

In their memory, we feel a renewed commitment to our own mission: serving others and bringing light where there is darkness. We believe that honoring those who fought for a better world means working tirelessly to improve it. For us, that means ensuring that preventable blindness never stands in the way of a person’s future, no matter where they live.

Today, as we gather with family and friends, let’s hold gratitude in our hearts for our freedoms and the legacies of those we've lost.

Sight. Connection. And a whole lot of heart in Honduras. 🇭🇳

This week at San Benito Jose in Comayagua was... honestly? It was a whirlwind.

We just wrapped up our Cornea and Cataracts teaching mission, and the energy was electric. Imagine three operating rooms humming at once. Imagine the focus, the sweat, and the sheer joy of seeing someone realize they’ll be able to see their family’s faces again. 👁️✨

It’s powerful stuff! But this wasn't just about the surgeries. It was about the people passing the torch.
🫶 Huge love to our visiting surgeons, Drs. Lorrick Andersen, Kaihan Fakhar, Miles Greenwald, and Aaron Noll. They didn't just show up; they poured their expertise into everyone around them.

And we were thrilled to have UIC residents Dr. Jeffrey Peterson and Nayanika Challa, and Greenwald Fellow Dr. Jackson Voss, in the mix, too. They weren't just observing. They were exchanging ideas, learning the grit of global eye care, and seeing firsthand why this work matters so much.

Three local fellows worked side-by-side with the team, which is the best part. Because when we leave, that knowledge stays. The care continues!

We’re growing. We’re learning. And because of people like you, we’re helping our neighbors in Honduras see a future that’s a lot clearer.

Thank you for being part of this. 💙

Congratulations, Dr. Luis Rivera Peralta! 🎓🎉

Yesterday in Comayagua, we gathered to celebrate a truly special milestone: the graduation of our 2025/2026 Anterior Segment Fellow, Dr. Luis Rivera Peralta.

Luis, watching your journey this past year has been nothing short of inspiring. You joined the ACE Global Fellowship with a deep desire to learn, and you leave us as a confident, competent, and truly excellent surgeon.

Beyond the operating room, we’ve seen you blossom into a natural leader. Whether you were navigating difficult cases with poise or mentoring new fellows during recent brigades, your dedication to your craft and your colleagues has been admirable.

What’s next for Luis? He is headed to Hospital San Felipe, where he’ll continue his mission to provide world-class eye care. Even as he graduates, Luis is already dreaming up "big ideas" to expand medical education and give back to the program by teaching the next generation of fellows. This heart for service is exactly why we do what we do.

Luis, your warm personality puts everyone at ease, and your ability to see the "big picture" will serve the people of Honduras well for years to come.

While you’re moving on to a new chapter, remember that you’ll always have an ACE Global family standing behind you. We can't wait to see your career unfold and to catch up at future meetings and visits.

Please join us in the comments by sharing a message of congratulations for Dr. Rivera! 🥂✨

Behind every restored sight through ACE Global is a doctor who chose to look beyond their own clinic and toward a world in need.

Today is National Doctors’ Day, and we are pausing to celebrate the incredible surgeons, mentors, and fellows who make our mission possible. These aren't just medical professionals; they’re educators, pioneers, and often, the first line of hope for someone who has lived in darkness for years.

To our many amazing Volunteer Surgeons and Mentors: Thank you for donating your time and your world-class expertise. You don’t just perform surgeries; you build the foundation for sustainable eye care by sharing your skills with the next generation.

To our dedicated and talented ACE Global Fellows: Your passion for learning and serving underserved communities is inspiring. You are the future of global eye health, and watching your growth, from the first screening to the final follow-up, is a privilege.

When a grandmother sees her grandchildren for the first time in a decade, or a young father returns to work because his vision is restored, it’s because a doctor said "yes" to this mission.
