Sakthi Foundation sponsored a free Eye camp on 24th May 2009, in Sendurai Village, Madurai, Tamil Nadu. The eye camp was done by Aravind Eye Hospital (Madurai)  team of Doctors and Nurses.

       Around 240 people from the surrounding villages of Sendurai and Natham  were tested and 43 people were given free cataract surgery on the very same day.  Aravind eye hospital team were very impressed the way Sakthi Foundation volunteers organized the camp and requested to conduct this in other places too.

In poor villages in and around 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.
