    The camp which began around 10 AM, at the school premises, had a total of 350 students screened for problems related to eyes. In an interactive session involving the School Principal, Lions Club Committee Members and MOHAN Foundation, the activities of the Foundation to promote the organ donation cause were explained.  

     

    A few teachers and the Principal of the school expressed their willingness to pledge their eyes and registered as donors. They were explained about the eye donation process following death and the importance of conveying their wish to donate their eyes to their family members. Brochures containing information related to organ and tissue donation were distributed among those at the camp.
