October 8th 2009. World Sight Day.
The Lions Club of Lobatse annually celebrates this day(World Sight Day 08 October ) by conducting an activity related to reducing blindness. This year the members decided to visit cataract patients at the Eye Clinic of the Athlone Hospital. Lion Charles looks after the clinic and that makes it convenient to assist the clinic. The patients who had undergone Cataract Surgery were to have their bandages removed on that Thursday and this fitted in well with the club's intention of celebrating World Sight Day. Seven of the club members were present and there were eleven patients.
The Club President Lion Regina William spoke to the patients about us Lions and who we were and what we did. As the bandages were removed the President Lion Regina William assisted by other club members distributed a blanket and a packet with goodies to each of the patients.

WHAT A SIGHT IT WAS, BOTH TO THE PATIENTS WHO COULD NOW SEE AND TO US LIONS WHO COULD CELEBRATE WITH THE PATIENTS AND BE IN SIGHT.
