Eye examinations and Cateract Operations
Since the start of 2011 we have funded many eye examinations, many of which have led onto cataract operations being carried out. We aim to continue to carry out this programme in a sustainable way so that many more people can have their quality of life improved by having their reversible vision problems cured. Please check the Gallery for photos.

Gers built
