Dears , It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that the operations under MG#058106 for 242 IOLTs [Cataract surgeries] are being resumed with the first camp scheduled for 03-04 June, 2006 for 15 to 20 beneficiary patients coming from economically poor sections of society. The Press note has been published verbatim in the GT [Gomantak TIMES] of 29 May, 2006 page A-4 under the Headline "Cataract Surgery programme by Rotary Club" which gives a true and correct picture of the programme facilitated by the yeoman service of Vrundavan Hospital, its management and staff. [ It does the operations for a small fraction of the normal charge of Rs.12,000/- to15,000/- per operation in Goa].
Patients may be referred to Rtn. Pamela Aiyar Cabral at Cabral Communications, SKYLARK Bldg., opposite the Court, Mapusa,or Vrundavan Hospital, near Sports Complex, NH-17 bypass, Peddem-Mapusa, to be screened for eligibility and medical fitness, respectively, as per the routine procedure followed thus far. The service is open to persons living in any part of Goa. If you know a person who has a cataract, and cannot afford the cost of the operation, refer him to us. It is our privilege to serve. The Rotary motto is 'SERVICE Above Self' and it is the theme adopted for this its 101st year of activity ending 30 June, 2006. The eyesight of the needy is the primary concern of the Matching Grant project No.58106 funded jointly by our club in Rotary District 3170, RC of Solvesborg-Sweden in Rotary District 2400 and The Rotary Foundation [TRF] that also funds the 'Pulse Polio' or 'Polio Plus' programme world wide..
