On Wednesday, 29th January, the Kamal Pur and Uttor Khalijuri Development Fund UK (KPUK) sponsored its annual Free Eye Camp, providing essential eye care for the poor and needy in their village and surrounding areas.

The event was sponsored by KPUK and organised and delivered by the dedicated youth of the Surjo Shikha Welfare Society. From pre-event marketing and registration to ensuring seamless execution, these young volunteers played a pivotal role in delivering the initiative.

Impact of the Eye Camp

Nearly 400 patients from local and nearby villages attended the camp for free eye check-ups, resulting in:

*271 patients receiving eye medicine and drops.

*220 patients receiving free reading glasses.

*37 patients diagnosed with cataracts or other conditions, requiring further medical treatment or surgery in partnership with VARD Eye Hospital, Osmani Nagar

Praise for Young Volunteers

Several UK-based expats and KPUK trustees attended the event and were highly impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the young organisers.

Talib Uddin, a respected elder (Murabbi), who had arrived in Bangladesh just a day before, expressed his admiration, saying:

“I’m truly impressed. I didn’t realise our village had so many talented young people capable of delivering such a successful event.”

He further added:

“I will sit with them in the coming days to plan more collaborative projects between KPUK and Surjo Shikha.”
