Sakthi
Foundation Free Eye Camp
Sakthi Foundation
sponsored a free Eye camp on January 27th 2007, in Sendurai Village,
Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
The eye camp was done by Aravind Eye Hospital (Madurai) team of
Doctors and Nurses.
Around 350 people were tested and 63 people were given free cataract
surgery on the very same day. These 63 were thus restored vision. Aravind
eye hospital team were very impressed the way Sakthi Foundation volunteers
organized the camp and requested to conduct this in other places too.
To more 100
poor patients food was also distributed.
In poor
villages like Sendurai, poor people especially old and children do not get
their vision problems checked and corrected due to high medical expenses.
Eye camps like these immensely help in giving vision to these needed
people. The response was great that we had to turndown many needed people
due to time constraints. We are thinking to conduct again such a camp by
middle of 2007.
