The Program Plan:

Ecological Protection Forum was very happy to participate once again with another local NGO of Nepal Utprerak Samaj Dhading and International Non governmental Organization Kantipur Lions Club and Sushma Koirala Memorial Trust to support a village eye camp in Dhading District. Two weeks period was remaining to the scheduled Camp, We promoted by posters and banner in the three village development committee with in few days of Nalang, Salang And Kumpur Village Development committees. One of the challenges of the program is to involve the number of patients that will attend the clinic, who have suffering through retina.

As always, we were received by the local people with warm hospitality and great appreciation for the hard work of the volunteers.

This left the entire eye camp program in the very capable and hard working hands of doctors of the T. U. Teaching B.
