Awareness manual for school teachers on children's eye care is now available

From the past six years Antardrishti is working towards prevention of blindness and empowerment of  visually impaired. Majority of the blindness occurs during infancy  and childhood days due to neglect, lack of awareness and accidents.  It is reassuring that a large number of such cases of blindness can  be mitigated through timely detection and treatment.

Our  survey also led us to the fact that school teachers can play a  significant role in prevention of blindness amongst children. We  followed up our study by informal interactions, workshops and brain  storming sessions with educationist, doctors, school teachers and  social workers and felt that there is an urgent need of preparing a  manual for teachers, which enables them in a simplistic yet holistic  manner to address this issue.

The  much awaited awareness  manual for school teachers on children's eye care is now available in  Hindi language and very soon we will be bringing out the English  Manual as well. In this manual, we  have incorporated the views and suggestion of teachers,  ophthalmologist and instructors. We hope that this manual would serve the purpose of a useful training aid towards prevention of  blindness amongst children.

If  you, or anyone known to you, work with school (junior section) as a  teacher/ principal/ manager or in any capacity and is willing to use  this manual, please fill  the form to obtain a copy of the manual.

Wish you a very happy and safe Diwali



Dear Friends,

Greetings from Antardrishti!

Thank you for your support and being part of Antardrishti activities and celebrating Eye Donation Fortnight with us. (Please check Antardrishti website for our activities on eye donation).

The festival of lights - Diwali, brings fun, joy and togetherness. Children and youth look eagerly for the arrival of the festival. In fact, they begin bursting crackers and playing with fireworks well before the festival. Diwali marks the triumph of good over evil and dispels darkness. Unfortunately, improper handling and playing with fireworks mar the celebrations every year.

Every year a number of people across the country lose their eyesight and sustain burns during the festival. Property is also damaged in mishaps.
We suggest a number of do's and don'ts to prevent loss of eyesight and other mishaps during the ensuing Diwali festival.

For this purpose we have developed a poster and Tips for safe Diwali. We request you to download the poster available in Hindi and English, take printout and display it at various prominent places such as your office, school, college, house etc and inspire people to enjoy safe and happy Diwali.

For further information and download posters please check our website athttp://www.antardrishti.org

We would also like to request you to forward this message to everyone in your contact list. This way we can reach to a lot more of them.
