WORLD SIGHT DAY 2011 - 13TH OCTOBER AT TEMEKE MWEMBEYANGA, DAR ES SALAAM

World Sight Day (WSD) is an international day of awareness to focus attention on the global issue of avoidable blindness and visual impairment. This year, there is no global theme for World Sight Day 2011.  WSD11 is officially observed on 13 October 2011 worldwide. Event dates, and activities to mark the occasion can vary around the world.

Global Key Messages

• 80% of all visual impairment can be avoided or cured
• About 284 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 245 have low vision
• About 90% of the world's visually impaired people live in developing countries
• Globally, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of visual impairment but in middle and low-income countries cataracts remain the leading cause
• The number of people visually impaired from infectious diseases has greatly reduced in the last 20 years

This year, the municipalities of Dar es Salaam are celebrating the event at Temeke, Mwembe Yanga. All clubs in Dar es Salaam are invited to contact the RMO at the City Council. Lion Zahira can be of useful assistance.

WORLD SIGHT DAY PREP BY DAR FRATERNITY

During the meeting held on Sunday, 2nd Oct, 2011, The District convenor for Sight First Lion Shanti Shah  proposed to organize a joint activity of the clubs in the fraternity of Dar es salaam for World Sight Day celebration. The joint activity will result in having this event at grand way and also another step towards media coverage and attracting new members to join Lionism.
