Community Volunteers
Community volunteers play an important role in our work. Volunteers visit the villages to survey the
number of people with eye problems. They also inform the communities about PBL's program
and when the team will visit their village. PBL's team consists of two eye technicians, a nurse, a
health teacher, an administrator and two community volunteers. They check the patients, give
medicine if needed or refer them to an eye-hospital. T he patients also receive a lesson about
hygiene and other important subjects to prevent eye diseases.
"The value of eyes is incredible! What can you do when you can't see? That's why eye-care is so
important! The communities are very happy with the PBL project SERVE is providing. Most people
don't have the possibility to travel all the way to the city to visit the eye clinic. PBL is the only
program that is coming to the communities to give education and medical treatment."
