To mark the World Sight Day, the CUP organized a special Eye Camp for children,on 25th October2008, at the Parama Visuddharamaya Temple, Katuwawala. A total of 77 children were screened to check their vision by qualified opticians and 30 children were detected for vision correction by providing spectacles/further special treatment. The Eye Camp was funded by Mrs.Rani.Weerasooria, Member- CUP, a generous benefactor for children's welfare activities.
On 22nd November 2008, all children who needed vision correction were given spectacles at the Temple, preceded by an Anusasana delivered by Ven.Damitha Thero, its chief Incumbent.
Mrs.Rani.Weerasuria addressed the Children, also including words of encouragement to improve on their studies further and score more marks making good use of the spectacles.
