Meaning of Siloam.Siloam
in the Bible means "sent" - John 9:7. Jesus healed a man born blind
by spitting on the ground and applying the clay made out of it on the man's
eyes and asking him to wash in the pool of siloam. The blind man
went, washed and came back seeing. We are similarly "sent" by Him
to obey His commandment of serving the poor and the blind.

have a number of local well wishers and Voluntary organizations like Lions
clubs, Rotary clubs, Youth clubs for social work, NSS students of various
colleges, various churches and seva samathis coming forward
to help us in organizing camps and supplying necessary articles to the
people in need. They are also kind enough to supply the intra ocular lenses
and microsurgical equipments for the cataract operations
conducted. Pre camp propaganda includes educating the public regarding
treatment of curable blindness. After the camp, selected patients are brought
to the basehospital the same day, evaluated thoroughly and operated
