Awareness on Eye Pledging and Eye Donation
‘Gift Your Sight’ Campaign @ iGate Bangalore on 22nd Feb 2006

The campaign was conducted to increase the Awareness of Eye Donation among the public, as of now, Bangalore. This is in-line with my efforts to spread the message among the people of the Importance of eyes and Importance of eye donation, done after death.
Lots of eyes are getting wasted, either thru burial of the dead body or thru burning. Instead of this, eyes can be donated so that a Corneally-blind person can get vision and will be able to see this beautiful world thru YOUR eyes! Each PAIR of eyes donated gives vision to TWO Corneally-blind persons!!
Even though we cannot live forever, let our eyes live and give sight for the needy!

With this context, I set across to conduct a campaign in my company to spread the message among the people. First I spoke to my HR Manager here and gave him the big picture of what is this all about and what I plan to do in the campus. He immediately spoke to the Admin team and enquired about what needs to be done for this. Admin team informed that they just need to be updated about the date of the campaign so that they can check back if there are no other camp/stalls on that day. They advised me of setting up this counter in our Amphitheatre and as there is no shade here, they advised me to inform the Eye Bank people to bring an Umbrella. As this was just a counter kind of setup, all Lions International Eye Bank required was one table and 2 chairs. So, logistics wise there was no issues.

Finally, after the day of discussion with my HR and Admin, I put across a date of 22nd February for Lions Eye Bank and they confirmed me that it is fine with them. The same I communicated to my HR and Admin here. Admin in-turn got approval for setting up this counter from the concerned senior officials. And there, we were set to go to conduct this camp…(

I prepared a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) about the Eye Donation concepts,

    Known as one of the worst disasters in the world's history, the Boxing day tsunami took place on December 26, 2004.

It had continued trekking countries in the Indian Ocean for over two days and left a devastating mess(Malcolm Moore and Meabh Ritchie).

    Tsunami causes the country’s economics to decrease. This is because a Tsunami will destroy anything on its path and the government has to re-build it which costs a lot. The government also has to aid the evacuated citizens and provide them with their basic needs such as food, clothes and shelter. The neighboring countries will usually give donations and offer help to the victim country which certainly is very useful. But it is a fact that the country suffers great loss from a tsunami.…

    Signing up to be an organ donor is one of the most generous things you can do — especially when you consider that a single donor can potentially save eight lives. That’s eight people who won’t have to spend agonizing months or years on the transplant waiting list, who will get a second chance, because you made the selfless decision to be a donor. More than 120,000 men, women and children currently need lifesaving organ transplants. Every 10 minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list. An average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant. In 2012, there were 14,013 Organ Donors resulting in 28,052 organ transplants. In 2012, more than 46,000 corneas were transplanted. More than 1…

    Aravind is highly successful because each component adheres to core mission where spirituality and humanity supersedes capitalism and profits. Aravind Eye Care System founder, Dr. Gouindappa Venkataswamy, warmly known as Dr. V, decided that in the developing country of India the government alone could not encounter the health needs of the population of the country. In a country where 12 million individuals are blind, the vast majority suffered from cataracts which tend to assault people before the age of 60- compared to individuals in the Western Hemisphere. As the Indian saying proceeds “a blind person is like a mouth with no hands.” Dr. V was guided by the teachings of the Indian nationalist Sri Aurobindo (Aravind is a derivative of Aurobindo), who became one of the country revered spiritual leaders. This spiritual leader located man’s search for his divine nature, not turning away from the world but, rather engaging the world; introducing his visions on human progress, and spiritual evolution. . Dr. V incorporates his spiritual existence to his daily labor appropriately. As a young male, he converted into a scholar of Sri Aurobindo, and Aravind was established on this principle of service and continues to be piloted by this philosophy. Venkataswamy(2013) notes that “Intelligence and capability are not enough. There must also be the joy of doing something beautiful. Being of service to God and humanity means going well beyond the sophistication of the best technology, to the humble demonstration of courtesy and compassion to each patient” (para. 3).…

    Due to my visual impairment, my family, my friends, even my soulmate, all have unrecognizable and obscure visual features. I have to be very attentive to detail when it comes to recognizing others. Sometimes, even when I listen to my family play, and socialize, I immensely attempt to swallow back the enormous lump developed in my throat and blink back the tears even though I am happy to at least hear them. Honestly, it is unbearable to realize that, evidently, I will never be able to observe my fellow friends and family progress as time ascends (Question 4). However, I must remain grateful and thank God for whatever he has done for me, because according to blog-writer, Cristina Hartmann, “It's the change that's the hard part, not the vision loss itself. People born blind don't need to struggle with this aspect; people like me who lose their sight later in life do” (Hartmann,…

    It was a serene Sunday in Banda Aceh, Indonesia when a substantial earthquake measuring around 8-9 on the Richter scale devastated the Indian Ocean region. The quake started at approximately 8:25 a.m. and lasted a prolonged seven minutes. The sea level drastically subsided and residents of the Banda Aceh began collecting fish that were exposed on the beach due to the change in sea level. At this time, in Banda Aceh, it was now 9 a.m., and Banda Aceh was not as peaceful. Overwhelming waves began to demolish homes and businesses on the shore as well as violently carry away pedestrians. Dead bodies, collapsed buildings, and a layer of mud nearly a foot thick accumulated on the shoreline after the tsunami struck. (After the Tsunamis). After twenty minutes of chaos, the lives of the residents as well as the tourists encompassing the Indian Ocean Region including Banda Aceh would be changed forever. The Boxing Day tsunami had numerous detrimental effects such on people, property, and the environment which ultimately raised tsunami awareness around the Indian Ocean region.…

    Individual’s suffering from impairment of sight would struggle immensely to complete even some of the basic task we take for granted. They cannot distinguish between peoples face, never get to see television, and no longer enjoy the sights of the world around them. This again leaves them feeling self-conscious and isolated from society. People with a sight impairment can become wholly dependant on the support they receive from care agencies and friends and family. They lose all independence to an extent and have to learn to adjust to the world around them.…

    Although Aravind Eye Care System was being expanded to provide total Eye care, the outreach eye camps which have been operating by Aravinds’ reached only 7% of the people in rural villages who had eye problems. As a consequence, objectives for Aravind Eye Care System are to reach out to and cure a much larger percentage of the affected people in the remote area. In the meantime, to solve the firm’s target to serve poor blind people, a low cost facility with 100 beds was added only for those who needed free treatment. And Aravind had added to its service mix such specialties as treatment of many type of diseases. In the case of incurable blindness, Aravind provided rehabilitation service. Furthermore, in Tamil Nadu, Aravind was one of the biggest providers of eye care services, having conducted 16,747 cataract surgeries in 2009/10, compared with 488,666 cataract surgeries performed in Tamil Nadu.
