Consent and ApprovalThe consent of the State Coordinator NYSC Abuja and the Director Medical Services Department, CBN Abuja, was sort to carry out the project. Approval for execution was subsequently granted. In addition, the General Overseer of the orphanage was consulted on the proposed project and the consultations turned out very successful.
Project Plan To successfully carry out the project, revenue was generated from individuals and CBN staff provided the bulk of the fund. The project invested in treatment supplies; drugs, eye drops, testing equipments with provisions and toiletries. A medical personnel was also paid to assist.

Program ClosureThe project came to an end at about 6:00pm. The Matron commended the team for their unequivocal effort during the exercise and expressed her appreciation.
Brief on the health discussions and presentation of giftsAfter the free Eye Examination/Treatment, we had a health discussion with the Children they were encouraged to ask questions on any area of health. They asked a few questions and answers were given. They were highly impressed and a lot of them opted to become doctors when they are older.
Issues & ChallengesI did not have obvious challenges, though I would have loved to buy more gift items but for insufficient funds.
PrayerIn Conclusion, having successfully executed the one-off eye examinations, treatment and presentation of gifts, I am pleased to inform you that the children, staff and management of City of Refuge Orphanage are pleased with the visit and look forward to another in the near future.
Thank you.
