Kids Insight
Team arrived in Saint Lucia
A
6-member Children’s Vision Rehabilitation
Project (CVRP) team is in Saint Lucia from February
6 -19 2010 as part of their annual Kids Insight
Project.
Kids Insight Project is a joint project with
the Saint Lucia Blind Welfare Association (SLBWA)
and the Lions Clubs of St. Lucia. Its goal is
to address pediatric eye care for children with
blinding eye conditions. The Kids Insight project
reflects the ideal eye care programme: sensitization
and awareness, a good referral system, prevention,
education and intervention including surgical,
medical, refractive, low vision assessments
and provision of devices, rehabilitation and
good fellow-up.
The 6-member team has been committed to Kids
Insight since its inception in 2003 and continues
to vow their commitment. |

This is the team
8th visit to Saint Lucia and has examined
a total of 179 children and adults.
Kids insight can attribute its success to
the support and commitment of its many partners:
Lions International, Ministry of Health, Ministry
of Education, Victoria Hospital, St. Jude’s
Hospital, Customs and Excise and Pitons Foundation.
Also as part of their visit the team will
be hosting a children’s fair for the
many children who have received assistance
during the past eight years. This will take
place on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at Pigeon
Island from 3:00-5:00 p.m. The clinics will
begin on Monday, February 8, at the Saint
Lucia Blind Welfare Association.
