In 2003 Professor Joaquín Barraquer, together with Dr. Rafael and Dr. Elena Barraquer decided to take a further step in their vocation to help everyone as equals, and instituted the Barraquer Foundation, in order to provide eye treatment to populations in depressed areas of the world. That same year, Professor Joaquín Barraquer sold his Mercedes 540K gift to his father King Farouk Professor Ignacio Barraquer, of which only three units were known in the world.

This is the visual chronicle of the new Elena Barraquer Foundation expedition to Wamba (Kenya) collaborating with Africa Digna Foundation in Samburu territory.
