The newly installed District Governor Lion Hayderali Gangji has congratulated the entire team conducting the "See & Smile" eye and dental camp in Kilimanjaro Region. He sent the congratulatory message from Honolulu, Hawaii where thousands of high status Lions gathered at the Lions Clubs International Convention.
The Governor said: "Well done activity for the Centennial Service Challenge Goals". This appeared to be the immediate reaction and answer to the successive letters of information sent to the Governor by the President of Lions Club Moshi Kibo, Lion Inderjit S. Rehal. The ten-days project in three districts of Kilimanjaro Region, has targeted 3000 eye check-up and 100 eyes surgeries being done by volunteers from Belgium.
About 176 patients were screened in the suburb of Moshi, Bomangombe. The patients included twenty five small children classified as "Albinos" due to the obvious skin pigmentation disorders. They were given a special preference and arrangements were being made to procure special looking spectacles to protect their sensitive eyes from ultra violet sun rays.
According to the daily reports which are also highlighted in the local visual and print medias, sixty two surgeries have been carried out by the professional Eye Specialist doctors from Belgium. They expect to hit the target of 100 surgeries in the ten days of eyes and dental camps.
