2024 WORLD SIGHT DAY CELEBRATION: AWARENESS CREATION FOR CHILDREN’S VISION
Today, we continued our children's vision.awareness creation.by visiting another school: GRACE OF GOD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS.
Today, we learnt afresh the lesson of perseverance. We thought it necessary to give back to society as we celebrate 40 years of ACTIVE OPTOMETRY PRACTICE of our CEO. We chose some schools in our neighbourhood to impact with knowledge and service delivery. After a long process of seeking approval, we final got a short corridor of opportunity. We were given 30minutes( 9.30- 10.00am) only to
speak to the children.
In.view of this, we knew it would be impossible to do any meaniful examination of almost 300 children. So we decided that Eye Health Information was the way to.go.
We arrived the premises on time for the activity, but it seemed our mission was not going to be accomplished. We were disappointed that they seemed not to be ready to receive us. They had another programme for the same time as our appointment time. We got ready to go away in disappointment. Then a lady encouraged us to just see another officer, which we did. We asked for only 5 minutes to talk to the children who were doing a drama cast already. The drama stopped and we took over.
Oh my God, it turned out to be the most INTERACTIVE, EXCITING, INVIGORATING, ENJOYABLE, SOUL-LIFTING eye health education I have ever seen. The children of GOD'S GRACE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL were the most inquisitive and attentive set of children. I thoroughly enjoyed myself impacting them with the knowledge they need to LOVE THEIR EYES. Their teachers too, were fantastic. They asked questions that showed they were concentrating and got a grasp of the Eye Health Education. Some of the eye health materials we reproduced and gave them were eye health advocacy materials from IAPB. There were in form of puzzles, scramble games, crosswords, fun facts and tips.
Our celebration.of 40 years of active practice offers them an opportunity for FREE COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMINATION @ MEGO Vision Clinic .
Thank you, God's Grace International School. You.made our day and thought us a lesson in PERSEVERANCE.
We vould have missed the excitement and great interactions, if we had gone away as we wanted.
Who knows what today's awareness creation would do in some child's life? Who knows what impact that would create in society?
Celebrate with Mego Vision Clinic's CEO her 40 years of ACTIVE OPTOMETRY PRACTICE.
