Water is very essential in our daily lives, so much so that water is considered life. Without it the our systems are not able to function as it should and we continue to with-hold it from the body everything start shutting down until eventually we end up dead. Food is very important in our growth and development in uncountable ways within the body but then without water we would not be able to even obtain what we need from it. That is why in our culture, from where I come from, the first thing you serve a visitor is water before anything else, a way of saying have life whiles here.

Thus it was only prudent and culturally abiding that we presented water in addition to the snacks and the drinks (foods) that bought for the kids, our way of saying to have life and enjoy it as well. Irrespective of the fact that did not have lots of time on our hands to mingle with the kids and also couldn’t take picture for regulatory and security reasons seeing the smiles and happiness that was on the faces of the caretakers gave us that assurance that our hearts are in the right place and that we are doing good deeds, and for that we say thank you to everyone for helping us put smiles on the faces of others.

What is @bettervision about?

@bettervision is is a project initiated by @nattybongo and friends to give back to the society the knowledge and skill acquired through the Optometric Studies in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana.It is an outreach system where we visit the less privileged communities to offer free eye screening services and education to the people within the community

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To reduce or prevent vision loss through diseases such as glaucoma, cataract and refractive errors.

To enlighten the majority of the Ghanaian population about the importance of proper visual care.

To conscientize people on the need for regular eye checks

To get more people to have their wards screened within the Critical periods of a Child’s Vision Development; thus from ages 3 to till about 10 years.

To help the blind and people with low vision live a better life within the society through education of the general public to stop stigmatization.

Our greatest gratitude goes to @fundition @adollaraday @surfyogi @girlsfoundation @bleepcoin @ackza @indigoocean @nanzo-scoop @steemstem @demotruk @pennsif @steem-ambassador @kasho and @wafrica for helping to make the aims and objectives of @bettervision a reality.

This is me @nattybongo reporting for @bettervision. Thanks for your time.

Rice is a common food all across the globe now and there are various ways of always modifying its cooking to produce a different delicacy, that way we never get tired of it. In the Ghanaian indigenous setting the most popular delicacies here are plain rice with stew, braised rice, rice balls, jollof rice, fried rice and the wonderful awaakye, (maybe in the future we can learn about the Ghanaian culture in a more detail fashion). Rice is a carbohydrate and fall under the body building foods, it is also a great source of energy and has a very high nutritive value. It is free of gluten and some researches have even proven that it has anticancer properties and prevents constipation. Thus the children will be having lots of benefits from eating the rice we presented to them and go a long way to also improve their health.
