FRIDAY 7 OCTOBER <strong>2016</strong> THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> 7<br />

Rotary organises eye tests for learners<br />

THIRTEEN learners from<br />

Schornville Primary school<br />

had their eyes tested last<br />

week as part of a Rotary drive.<br />

The eye tests were done by<br />

DM Optometrists at no cost.<br />

Senior Elna Heuer also received<br />

a set of bio-focals on<br />

the day after she approached<br />

Rotary.<br />

“I am so happy about what<br />

Rotary did for him. I can see<br />

better and read now,' said<br />

Elizabeth.<br />

On the day twenty-five learners<br />

were meant to have their<br />

eyes tested but only 13 arrived<br />

at school,' a school<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

“The balance will have there<br />

eyes tested at a later date in<br />

October,' said Rotary president<br />

Dave Heathcote.<br />

He said that every year Rotary<br />

held a project which focused<br />

on the youth as the<br />

recipients and this year 'eye<br />

month' was our deciding factor.<br />

“We believe that both child<br />

and parent need to be made<br />

aware of any health or medical<br />

conditions that need to be<br />

treated in its early stages as<br />

the youth are the future'<br />

He said the eye testing went<br />

off well and of the 13 learners<br />

tested 4 needed spectacles<br />

'and received them before<br />

they left the premises.'<br />

'There were children that<br />

were unable to make it so<br />

Dean has set aside the 28<br />

October to examine them. He<br />

has made arrangements with<br />

teachers to bring them in for<br />

the eye testing,' said Dave.<br />

He added: 'This is great Free<br />

service to the community and<br />

Dean should be applauded.<br />

Well done to also Peter and<br />

Prittee Dhaya for all that they<br />

did to make the testing possible<br />

and for providing the kids<br />

each with a party pack.<br />

'I have given Dean Radue a<br />

framed photo thanking him<br />

and his staff and have also<br />

arranged with The Bugle to<br />

publish an article thanking<br />

him,' said Dave.<br />

One of the learners tested,<br />

Grade 3 learner Athuke<br />

had a vision problem and battle<br />

to see the board clearly in<br />

class “The 'eye lady' who tested<br />

my eyes told me a I need<br />

glasses and when they gave<br />

them to me I was so excited.<br />

“I cannot wait to get back to<br />

class and see things clearly<br />

on the board,' she said.<br />

Parent Themba Msimanga<br />

who accompanied the children<br />

said;' Teachers at the<br />

school identified children with<br />

vision problems'.<br />

“We are grateful to Rotary and<br />

DM Radue Optometrists for<br />

affording the learners this opportunity<br />

to have their eyes<br />

tested and those with problematic<br />

vision dealt with<br />

promptly and given glasses,'<br />
