Magical Smiles organised free eye camp in Sundal, Pakistan
 
Magical Smiles organised a 2-days free eye camp in partnership with Sundal Welfare Society (a local charity providing humanitarian services in the rural areas of Gujar Khan) to help eradicate avoidable blindness in Al-Hijrah Elementary School, Sundal village, Gujar Khan, Rawalpindi.


Medical Doctor, Dr Abdulrashid Siddique from Aberdeen (now practicing in Qatar) and a student Umer, from Cults Academy, Aberdeen (currently studying in Qatar) volunteered in this camp. It was “Magical Smiles” very first overseas project which was a great success Alhamdolillah.

 
The camp benefitted 77 children. Their eyes and general health were examined. 17 children were identified who need spectacles. Free spectacles will be given to these 17 pupils.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the camp, Sundal Welfare Society’s Chairperson Kamran Afzal said, “We welcome this great initiative by Magical Smiles and very grateful to these 2 overseas volunteers; doctor and the student. We hope to offer this service to other nearby schools in the future.By organizing such camps, we aim to spread awareness and sensitize the community on personal hygiene and good healthcare.”

 
 
Umar, who came specially to volunteer in this eye camp, said “This was a great opportunity for me to gain some experience by engaging with children who are deprived of the facilities that we take for granted, living in Scotland. It was a real eye-opening experience. I made friends in this school and hope to be back in this part of the world in the near future”.

 
Magical Smiles aim to Provide free of cost preventative, promotive and curative eye care services to schools in the remote areas of Pakistan with the help of local communities and organisations to eliminate preventable blindness.
