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 />

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 />
