Following a night of fun and singing the Castries lions joined with the Leos and the members of the Gros Islet club for an eye screening training workshop. The workshop was conducted by Denise Godden of the Saint Lucia Blind Welfare Association (SLBWA).
The Executive Director of the Association, Mr Gregory Avril in addressing the workshop highlighted the importance of the training to Lions and Leos as this will greatly assist in the work that the SLBWA is doing in Saint Lucia. It will also serve as a platform to strengthen the Kids-In-Signt programme which is a joint project of the SLBWA and the Lions clubs of Saint Lucia.
The workshop was very informative and interactive. In addition to
covering topics like eye disease, participants were quiz on the issues
relating to Blindness awareness month. The concentration of the
workshop was on reading the charts and conducting the screening.
Everyone present expressed that the workshop was not only enlightening but practical and relevant.
We wish to express our thanks to Mr Avril for gracing us with his presence and Denise Godden for accepting to training our Lions and Leos.
