Eye glasses for Samoeng village
A team of The Raintree Foundation went to Samoeng, about a one hour drive by car from Chiang Mai. There we met different Rotary clubs from Chiang Mai. Those Rotary Clubs have had implemented an Eye’s Day for helping people living in Samoeng area. There was two Doctors from oversee and one local Doctor. This three Doctors got assistance by ten more people from oversee. Six of them were present at six different check stations and the other four helped the local people to reach each check station. At the end there are two people giving out the right eye glass after the Doctor’s detected their sense of sight. Rotaract was representing too, they captured the entire villager coming for eye test. Altogether there were nine hundred local people for eye test and some of them used to went to the clinic to get an eye operation. In January of 2011 Rotary Chiang Mai North www.rotarychiangmai.org asked the Raintree Foundation to introduce our work at their weekly meeting. Ralf O. was the guest speaker and he talked also about our eye glass projects. However, the Rotary Club asked us for some eye glass donations for their big eye glass project in Samoeng. When we went to Samoeng we took 548 pcs. of eye glasses with us and donated it to the Rotary eye project.
