Following the guidelines established by ICU2 FOUNDATION:
Schools organize and supervise their own ICU2 outreach programs within their local communities.
- Students, under the guidance of their teachers and administrators, select a partner, such as another school, an orphanage, a community center, a village, where they have identified people in need of vision care.
- Together, they plan and stage vision screening and the distribution of glasses to the people who need them.
- With planning, they can return several times to the same site over the course of a month or more.
A key event for the community!
Either organized by an individual school or jointly with other partner schools, an eye camp constitutes a major opportunity to provide a local community with vision care.
Historically, ICU2 eye camps have brought together students from European schools who work alongside their Indian peers and thus transform the project into a deeply enriching international service learning opportunity.
For interested schools, the in-school ICU2 Vision Center can build service learning directly and deeply into your school’s culture:
- Year-round or as a ‘Pop-Up’, the Vision Center can become a focal point for service and learning within the school.
- Have a room dedicated to Ping-Pong or to another use? Transform it – even temporarily – into your service learning ICU2 Vision Center.
