Longford, Central Launceston, Deloraine and Latrobe successfully applied for a District Simplified Grant through the Rotary Foundation to support this project.

It is expected that 5000 Nepalese people will attend the camp and at least 500 will have their eyesight fully restored by cataract surgery.

 

Many more will be treated for various eye diseases
