God’s hand on the Karuna Project has been amazing. Ever since the fledgling project was conceived, there have been growing opportunities leading to other doors for us as a church to serve the poor and needy.
One such opportunity is the eye camp. Part of many such ventures, an eye camp is a place where people in the leprosy colony, come to get their eyes checked and have spectacles issued at a very low rate.
It was initially observed that those living in the leper colony in Borivali had very low incomes. Because of this ailments such as cataracts in the eye, partial blindness and even blurry vision are not given due importance. It is to address these issues that Tree of Life Church along with Stepping Stone Charitable Society hold the Eye Camps every year.
Through these camps, not only do we bless those people and ease their suffering, but also, plant seeds of the love of God in the hearts of the patients. We look forward to your continued support to help these projects take roots all over the city and beyond. God bless you!
Here is what Praveen Nayak had to say:
The Prerna Eye Camp was Peaceful and Joyful time. There were 171 Registration. We distributed around 145 Spectacles. Few People and children did not need it, 2-3 needed the operation accordingly they were directed. It was a good time at the clinic. Pat, Margret, Michael, Usha, and myself were there. There were 3 opticians. The people were listening and obeying if you tell them to stand in the queue i.e. they were cooperative. We started at 2PM and ended at 5PM.
Following are the pictures of the Eye Camp:
