1.presentation on eye care, nutrition and hygiene
2.delivery of super cool shades
3.reading tests and fitting reading glasses
rinse and repeat.
The team really found their groove, with everyone finding their optimal role and executing.
Heather, Sam, Prince and Moise worked closely with the local pastors to train and handle the tests and fittings.
George was the escalation point for any serious issues and referrals (cataracts, detached retinas, etc.)
Riad organized the glasses, delivering the specific requested power and coordinated the queue of people.
A finely tuned serving eye care machine...
Sam and Celestin explaining... if you can see Celestin's obnoxious orange shirt, then your eyes are likely OK.
Sam explaining the power of germs through glitter...
the Crew hard at work, reading testing, fitting glasses, changing lives...
A happy customer who insisted on a photo and a promise to post to the blog... "I want the world to know I can see again AND to check out this awesome outfit"
So as efficient and effective as we were, there were at least 200 people waiting first thing in the morning, every single day... there was some waiting involved.
Mr Jean NGirabaganwa sat patiently for 4 hours for his turn. We successfully fitted him for a new set of readers (and some wicked cool shades), but he still seemed a little out of sorts.
I asked him "Jean, my brother, what's bothering you?"
He said, "Riad, I missed my class at university and going to get into serious trouble".
My goodness, what oh what to do???
BAM, write a doctor's note...
Signed sealed and delivered, super official... Riad Bacchus, eye care consultant.
My work is done here.
Mr Jean, his note, and his favorite eye care consultant... I just wish I had a white lab coat.
