REPORT FROM DIRECTOR CHIANG WEI CHIA
on Avoidable Blindness Campaign
Pitas, 7th February 2010
The Avoidable Blindness Campaign at Pitas on Sunday, 7th February 2010 was a follow up of the Rotary District 3310 “Avoidable Blindness Conference” held at the Sabah Trade Centre in Kota Kinabalu on 22nd November 2008.
The Avoidable Blindness Campaign was organized with the support and assistance from the Jabatan Oftalmologi of Queen Elizabeth (QE) Hosiptal led by the Ketua Jabatan & Pakar Oftalmologi, Dr. Shuaibah Abdul Ghani. The other specialist doctors participated in the campaign are Dr. Norwazilah Binti Mohd Ansul, Dr Mustafizur Rahman, Dr Linda, as well as optometrists, Cik Norhayati Hat, En Ikbal, Cik Suhaida, Cik Enjelin, En Irwan and 7 others hospital assistants. Some staff members from the Sabah Medical Centre (SMC) have also participated at the campaign. There were 10 Rotarians, three of them accompanied by spouses and family, and 3 Rotaractors who also participated in the event.
About 300 kampung residents of Pitas were examined and treated by the doctors at the Dewan Serbaguna Pekan Baru Pitas. Some of these patients who require surgical treatment will be treated at the District Hospital of Pitas and Kota Marudu within one month time by the specialist doctors. Due to the great turnout, the doctors and volunteers worked tirelessly to complete the examination/treatment of the patients, by taking only a short 15 minutes lunch break by turn despite that they having departed very early on Sunday morning and taken the three and half hours bus journey from Kota Kinabalu.
While the medical team was busy examining and treating their patients, the Rotarians and spouses were occupied giving out the de-worming medication and distributing exercise books, stationeries, snack foods/drinks and used clothing to the kampung folks.
President Frankie closed the campaign with expression of words of gratitude and thanks to the doctors and volunteers from QE hospital and gave an appreciation certificate to each of the QE volunteer. President Frankie also thanked the Pitas District Office, SMC volunteers as well as the Rotaractors who had participated and/or assisted in the event. He also thanked the RCKK Rotarians and spouses, especially Rtn Dr. Ravi for organizing the campaign that will make a difference for the life of those kampung folks.
The chartered bus left Pitas about 4.30 pm. As a token of appreciation, the doctors and volunteers were invited for a simple dinner at Lintas Plaza after reaching Kota Kinabalu at about 8 pm.
LIGHTER MOMENTS
Each man gives a story
Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently it had been a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first one, "Heaven's getting pretty close to full today, and I've been asked to admit only people who have had particularly horrible deaths. So what's your story?"
So the first man replies: "Well, for a while I've suspected my wife has been cheating on me, so today I came home early to try to catch her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could tell something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where this other guy could have been hiding. Finally, I went out to the balcony, and sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, 25 floors above ground! By now I was really mad, so I started beating on him and kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall off. So finally I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and starting hammering on his fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that for long, so he let go and fell -- but even after 25 stories, he fell into the bushes, stunned but okay. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran into the kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the edge where it landed on him, killing him instantly. But all the stress and anger got to me, and I had a heart attack and died there on the balcony."
"That sounds like a pretty bad day to me," said Peter, and let the man in.
The second man comes up and Peter explains to him about heaven being full, and again asks for his story.
"It's been a very strange day. You see, I live on the 26th floor of my apartment building, and every morning I do my exercises out on my balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing of the balcony on the floor below me. I knew I couldn't hang on for very long, when suddenly this man burst out onto the balcony. I thought for sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me. I held on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all right. Just when I was thinking I was going to be okay, this refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly, and now I'm here."
Once again, Peter had to concede that that sounded like a pretty horrible death.
The third man came to the front of the line, and again Peter explained that heaven was full and asked for his story.
"Picture this," says the third man, "I'm hiding inside a refrigerator..."
