Report on SightFirst Campaign

On the 12th of August 2012, the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya and the Lions Club of Hulu Selangor organized a SightFirst campaign. This campaign was to give free eye check-up to the poor. Lions and Leos from the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya, Lions Club of Hulu Selangor, Leo Club of SMK Assunta, Leo Club of Taman Petaling and the Leo Club of Petaling Jaya Integrity attended the project which was held in Batang Kali.
We were assigned to the task of handling the registration and helping the patients to the eye check-up van. Citizens aged 40 and above were only allowed the free eye check-up. It was an eye-opener as many of us take for granted the good eyesight that we have. This project has taught us to be grateful for what we have. There was also a free blood test for the patients to test the sugar level in the blood.
The Sightfirst campaign was featured in the China Press newspaper. All in all, the project was a success and we hope to attend and conduct more projects like this in the future.
