Preparing for World Sight Day Outreaches
World Sight Day:
focusing global attention on blindness and vison impairment
The most anticipated World Sight Day is finally here, is a day of spreading love in the visual health sector, free eye screenings all across the globe. @bettervision is not taking any exception to this, today we head out there to screen people and bring smiles to the faces of individuals, children, adults, aged by improving vision for those that require it. Equity is the goal not equality.
Preparing to leave, we are dividing ourselves to lots of groups since the outreach would not be at only one place, some would be going to the Kotei, Boadi, Ayeduase and many more, all these are towns within the environs of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Stay tuned as we bring you updates of World Sight Days Outreach Sessions in within the week.
Show Charity and indulgence to everyone but yourself
What is @bettervision about?
@bettervision is is a project initiated by @nattybongo and friends to give back to the society the knowledge and skill acquired through the Optometric Studies in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana.It is an outreach system where we visit the less privileged communities to offer free eye screening services and education to the people within the community
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To reduce or prevent vision loss through diseases such as glaucoma, cataract and refractive errors.
To enlighten the majority of the Ghanaian population about the importance of proper visual care.
To conscientize people on the need for regular eye checks
To get more people to have their wards screened within the Critical periods of a Child’s Vision Development; thus from ages 3 to till about 10 years.
To help the blind and people with low vision live a better life within the society through education of the general public to stop stigmatization.
Our greatest gratitude goes to @fundition @surfyogi @girlsfoundation @bleepcoin @ackza and @wafrica for helping to make the aims and objectives of @bettervision a reality.
This is me @nattybongo reporting for @bettervision. Thanks for your time
Yes I knew the background was West Africa, at first I thought it was Nigerian, until I saw Kumasi, and that is Ghana, educating people on the importance of sight is important, people are ignorant on the benefits of preserving their sights, so this is a worthy effort.
Thanks for the support and love @bestgift
