An Eye for CAS

Moeen, as part of his CAS project, engaged with multi-national companies such as Nestle and Coca-Cola to arrange necessary eye surgeries for impoverished areas of Pakistan. Alongside these organisations, Moeen was able to arrange for skilled doctors to perform the surgeries for free. Despite the seamless organisation and planning, freak weather meant that the doctors were unable to reach the area to provide the care. However, as a true embodiment of IB learning and ambassador of GIS, Moeen was able to work around these difficulties. On the spot, he adapted his planning and found local doctors who were able to travel to a closer village to provide medical check-ups for over 250 people.

Shortly after the bad weather had cleared, the eye surgeons that Moeen had previously contacted reached out to inform him that they still wanted to travel to the affected area to complete the eye surgeries to those that needed them. Excited by this outcome, Moeen took a flight back to Pakistan to oversee the completion of the project resulting in over 700 eye surgeries and 1,000 eye check-ups.
