On April 15, 2013, Dr. Ben and the staff at Bardiabas Eye Care Center held a local workshop for metal workers and furniture artisans. Bardiabas is a smaller city southeast of Kathmandu. One participant, shown here with a patched eye, even showed up to the workshop with a work-related eye injury! With a little help from Dr. Ben, a small piece of metal was removed from the man’s eye. This worker then helped to explain the importance of safety eyewear to the rest of the group. We couldn’t have asked for a better spokesperson for the day!
With Bardiabas on board, Working Vision is now serving 4 different cities in Nepal, also including Kathmandu, Hetauda, and Pokhara.
