Amway Opportunity Foundation (AOF) has organised an Eye Check-up Camp at Deepalaya School, where 10 Doctors of Mahavir International conduct the eye check-up session. The two day camp starting from today at Deepalaya’s centre at Shaik Sarai and tomorrow at Gole Kuan centre is a step towards humanity by providing eye check-up for the needy children of the society. 425 children received the benefit of the free eye check-up at the Shaik Sarai School held today. Some children were also provided eye drops for eye lubrication. The camp was inaugurated by Mr. Ajith Kumar Jain, IRS, Additional Commissioner – Income Tax.Deepalaya School is AOF’s NGO Partner under Project Sunrise – a project started by AOF last (2009) under which it has identified 70 orphanages with which it has partnered with and is taking care of educational expenses, health & medical expenses of the children of the identified orphanage. Apart from this AOF has also installed a water purifier and a cooler at the orphanages to ensure that children have access to clean and safe drinking water at all times. AOF is sponsoring educational expenses of 22 underprivileged children residing in near-by slums studying at Deepalaya School.
As the saying goes, precaution is better than cure, AOF’s eye check-up camps are a step of prevention from any eye problem in any child. These sessions identify any vision problem or any such eye related infection or disorder in a child. As these children belong to the weaker sections of the society, these sessions help them avail a facilty free of cost which otherwise their pockets cannot afford.
Commenting on this noble initiative, Mr. William S Pinckney, Chairman – AOF said, “Eye is the most essential part of our body and to see this beautiful world one needs to have an effective vision. We are fortunate enough to be of some help for these needy children by providing them eye check-ups which is a modest step towards the betterment of their lives. “
Today’s camp witnessed experienced doctors providing the best of check-up sessions and experienced advices to the children who either had some vision problem or were suffering from an eye-related ailment. The similar effort tomorrow at Gole Kuan centre would continue with the commitment of Amway to provide an improved vision to the children to have a better life.
