So initially we had a meeting with the caretakers of the church and had the go ahead for the educational session which would have latter on been followed by the screening exercise latter on however it turns out there was a miscalculation on their part which they fail to inform us accordingly as such due to these circumstances the session was cancelled and the screening is been rescheduled, nonetheless it would come off eventually just there are going to be adjustment to what we had inform you initially. It saddens our heart that it happened like that but then we would find ways to work around it.

For this month we are planning on extending our usual outreaches to incorporate some additional towns and villages, this is in aid of the Age Related Macular Degeneration Awareness campaign, we are hoping to reach a larger audience by so doing and to get the majority of those audience well informed about what Age Related Macular Degeneration is all about and how best to go about its treatments and the importance of preventive measures. Again we will be writing more articles on pathologies of the eye to get steemians acquainted with certain diseases and how best they can protect themselves by putting in place the necessary preventive measures.

Until then we would continue to update all our followers, backers and supporters of all activities that @bettervision undertakes and we continue to remain grateful for your love and support.
