Over 600 patients were examined and screened for cataract, glaucoma, refractive error and for other eye-diseases. Cataract surgeries were performed. Several hundred eyeglasses-mainly reading glasses- and eye-drops were distributed. Clothing, medicines, school supplies and money was donated to the locals. The village medical doctor and nurses were involved in our work. A pilot project regarding building water cleaning stations was started.
