Who Can Sponsor a Camp?
Any individual or voluntary social service organisation - such as Lions, Rotary, religious groups, industries, trusts, banks, hospitals, rural service organisations, recreation clubs, farmers associations, panchayat presidents - interested in the community welfare may sponsor an eye camp.
Sponsors' Role
The sponsors should play the primary role in setting up the campsite, arranging facilities and publicising the camp. They are responsible for assembling patients and providing lodging and food for the medical team.
- 55% of sponsors provide one-way bus fare for 100 camp patients in Aravind-Madurai.Besides these expenses, they also sponsor publicity expenses and Medical team hospitality expenses.
- 45% of sponsors meet only the publicity expenses in Aravind - Madurai.
How to sponsor a camp?
A village with a population of at least thirty to fifty thousand including the surrounding areas is selected for conducting an eye camp. A convenient venue (such as a large school building in the area) and a suitable date (which does not interfere with local festivals, marriages and other functions or with other camps) will be selected for conducting the camp.
The sponsors should:
- Plan for manpower and finance to conduct widespread publicity through all possible media.
- Delegate a separate team of members and volunteers to look after the publicity work
- Arrange boarding and lodging for the medical team if the location is beyond 125km from the base hospital
- Arrange transport for patients between the villages and the site of the camp, if the camp venue is not accessible to a radius of 5 to 10 Kms.
