We are planning to train our volunteers in early August and begin our school vision screenings later in August. We hope to have one screening per week for a period of twelve weeks, so that all eleven municipal schools and the Wat Suan Dok School can be screened before the end of December.
Good news, I met my former student Steve Horowitz who has organized the glasses frames donation from Eyewear Designs. He has informed me that he can organize the donation of hundreds of additional high-quality children’s frames again this year and in the future.
We still need volunteers for our screenings this year. If you are interested, please contact me at schoolvision@cmirotary.org. A cautionary note, while we will only use fully vaccinated and boosted volunteers for our school screenings, it is increasingly apparent that it is possible for fully vaccinated and boosted people to contract Covid-19.
Screening in the schools will involve contact with children, some of whom have not been vaccinated, so in addition to vaccine requirements we may have to add ATK testing to our procedures. We may also need to restrict our volunteers to those who do not have health issues making them more vulnerable to Covid-19. Let’s hope that by August the incidence of the disease is so low that special procedures will not be necessary.
Once again, we’d like to take this opportunity to recognize the generous support of our partners, sponsors and donors, so below is a list of these generous organizations. THANK YOU ALL!
