In September 2014, Beijing University People's Hospital and Beijing No.3 Hospital sent three cataract experts to Djibouti to carry out the Guangmingxing (光明行) or "Bright Journey" Project. During their one month stay in Djibouti, they performed around 520 free cataract surgeries and 1086 eye exams. They also helped to train the only two eye doctors in Djibouti. They returned to Beijing in 19 October 2014. The value of this project is unknown.
