It is indeed an asset to have an optometrist within our club, with whose assistance, one could work on a project to correct vision of those who may not even know that there could be a problem with their sight. Such was the case when we were in Thalawakale, where a project of Eye correction was attempted on a twin phase method, using the help of an uncle of our Rotaractor Shreapathy Attanayake of MPL Plantations.
Rtr Benjamin Yoga, planned this out so well that during the first phase, the eyes were tested and after a period of 5 weeks the vision corrective spectacles were given. We also had assistance of our Rotary Club of Colombo Uptown, who had given us frames for the same.
It indeed had given us great pleasure to see a whole plantation in Thalawakale, where nearly 125 pairs of spectacles were given to thos who were in need of eye correction.
A mission to correct someone's vision succeeded in grand fashion...!
