On October 5th we celebated World Teachers Day.
For Orbis, teachers play a vital role in the battle against avoidable blindness, so we want to take this opportunity to thank them all for their dedication and support.
So we are celebrating teachers like Batiso who is a maths teacher in rural Ethiopia. Following his training from Orbis in primary eye care and vision testing, Batiso is now equipped to spot the first signs of eye disease in her students. So during the School Eye Care Club he runs, he teaches his students all about trachoma, how it’s transmitted, and prevented. He uses a simple teaching technique for the students that they can easily share with their families and communities. It costs just €40 to train teachers like Batiso.
