Media Coverage
The activities of the project was could not be covered by the media as the
general overseer expressed her reservation as stigmatisation of the kids when
they go to school.
Program Closure
The project came to an end at about 6:00pm. The Matron commended the team
for their unequivocal effort during the exercise and expressed her appreciation.
Brief on the health discussions and presentation of gifts
After the free Eye Examination/Treatment, we had a health discussion with the
Children they were encouraged to ask questions on any area of health. They
asked a few questions and answers were given. They were highly impressed
and a lot of them opted to become doctors when they are older.
Issues & Challenges
I did not have obvious challenges, though I would have loved to buy more gift
items but for insufficient funds.
Prayer
In Conclusion, having successfully executed the one-off eye examinations,
treatment and presentation of gifts, I am pleased to inform you that the children,
staff and management of City of Refuge Orphanage are pleased with the visit and
look forward to another in the near future.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
