Eye Clinic at Crossroads

Dr Steve Beaty

Crossroads was quite a hive of activity yesterday as we hosted an eye clinic for folk from Mablauwuni village and the surrounding communities. We weren't too sure how the turn out would be seeing as it is the festive season but, the response was good. Dr Steve Beaty, his lovely wife Jane and a team served us so well. They not only examined eyes and blessed folk with glasses, but they also checked on general health - those with ailments of sorts. The day was fantastic and the Crossroads Catering Team did an excellent job in cooking for over 150 people and serving them on time......

However, the day didn't start off so brilliantly for the Beaty's. We had scheduled the eye clinic to start at 9:00am and were expecting the Beaty's before hand to set up. We were then informed that the vehicle they had hired from Bulawayo broke down on the way and so they had to head back into town to sort that out. Folk from the surrounding communities started arriving at Crossroads as early as 6:00am. The general atmosphere was good as people waited patiently and the clinic eventually kicked off at approximately 11:00am.

It was a good day and the thunderstorm in the afternoon was AMAZING!!! Farmers in Kezi are smiling.....
