AUGUST, 2023
On August 6, 2023, the Walkaroo Foundation, in collaboration with Aravind Eye Hospital, organized a transformative event: a Free Eye Check and Cataract Surgery Camp that extended its care to the villages in and around Malumichampatty. Held at the premises of PUPS, Malumichampatty, from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM, the camp proved to be a beacon of hope for 573 beneficiaries hailing from approximately 25 villages. Notably, 70 individuals received the gift of sight through free cataract surgeries at Aravind Hospital, while 146 others were provided with expert recommendations for spectacles. The enthusiastic participation of 135 spirited Walkaroo volunteers, aided by a remarkable door-to-door publicity campaign led by 90 dedicated volunteers, contributed significantly to the camp’s resounding success.
