I am pleased to provide you with an update on the recent eye check-up camps held in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Baner and other esteemed partners. On Wednesday, March 20th, we organized a significant camp at the National Chemical Laboratory PES Modern High School in Pashan. This camp was made possible through the joint efforts of the Rotary Club of Pune Central, the Rotary Club of Baner, and their Rotaract and Interact clubs. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ravi Kumar (retired), Director of NCL, and a Rotarian from RC of Poona Downtown for their invaluable support. Our sincere thanks go out to Ravi for his unwavering assistance throughout the camp. Despite the challenges, including the late hour, we successfully screened a total of 550 students and 40 staff members. Additionally, 53 students received glasses, 23 were referred to clinics, and 16 received reading glasses. I want to express my deepest appreciation to Apoorva and her dedicated team, along with Pranjal from the Community Eye Care Foundation, whose tireless efforts ensured the camp's success. Subsequently, on Tuesday, March 26th, we conducted another eye check-up camp in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Baner at Punruthan Samarsata Gurukulam in Keshavnagar, Chinchwad, Pune. Despite expecting 300 students and staff, we encountered fewer attendees. Nevertheless, the team from the Community Eye Care Foundation, under the leadership of Apoorva and Pranjal, worked diligently under challenging circumstances. I extend my sincere thanks to CECF for their dedication. During this camp, we screened 150 students, referred 13 to clinics, and provided refractive glasses to one student and one staff member. These camps have been instrumental in providing much-needed eye care to communities in need. We deeply missed Nafisa's presence during these fulfilling endeavors. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our cause.
