Jonga Trust in association with Rotary Club of Durbanville (D9350) launched a two month project to screen, test and provided spectacles for over a 1000 of local Durbanville Farm school children.

The project saw 46 children receiving new spectacles to aid them with their sight in the glass room and one child was diagnosed with congenital cataracts.  Jonga Trust made special arrangements for the child to be seen by Dr R Grotte, a pediatrics Ophthalmologist at Red Cross Children's Hospital.  The cataracts were removed 3 weeks later and Jonga made up a special pair of bifocal spectacles for the child to see clearly at distance and near.

The Rotary Club of Durbanville was invaluable in their support of the Durbanville Farm School Screening project and got a well deserved mention in the February edition of the International Rotary newsletter.
