Reflections: Eyes on China - Fujian 2012

By Kerryanne

Eyes of China brings together the best Chinese and Australian medical teams to perform free cataract operations on China’s most deprived citizens. It was a great privilege for me to assist in helping so many people among these warm and kind natured individuals.

I and a team of highly skilled volunteers worked tirelessly over the week. The satisfaction of improving the quality of life of the vision impaired buoyed our spirits. It did not matter how far we travelled, how tired we were, or how many hours we worked – morale was always high. Our singular aim was to perform as many procedures as humanly possible in the time we had.

I experienced a personal journey during this mission like no other. I leave China with enormous respect for the wonderful and kind team of Chinese nurses with whom I worked for many hours everyday. The nurses and I did not speak the same language, but we overcame this barrier to galvanise as one to offer our help. Australians view ‘mateship’ to be the highest form of respect and friendship we can express toward anyone. I have made lifetime friends and formed a common bond of ‘mateship’ with many individuals.

The opportunity to be a volunteer in Guangdong and Longyan Hospitals, in the knowledge I was a part of a team that was making a significant difference to the lives of hundreds of China’s citizens, left me rich with self-satisfaction and affection for the people of China.????

Thank you
