Taking a free eye clinic to Moruca
“YOU need to come back,” is a statement that took on special meaning when the George Subraj Foundation out of New York visited the Kumaka/Santa Rose communities in Moruca, Region One recently with its free eye clinic.
Residents came out from all corners of the sub-region in Region One (Barima/Waini) to access the services which they’d otherwise have to spend thousands of dollars for. For a simple eye test, for example, residents would have to spend money beyond their means on just transportation alone.
Having the service come to their own community, therefore, was a welcomed relief, and the number of persons who turned up was so great that many felt the work couldn’t be completed in just one day.
