Khopasi Eye Camp

On Sunday we went to Khopasi village for an eye camp.  274 patients attended the camp, many needed medication or glasses.  14 patients require cataract surgery, this life altering operation costs only $20!! One of Rotary's programs is to help sponser surgery for those who cannot afford it.
