The following the steps in sequence, made by Mihály Felföldi (RC Kecskemét), could mean a great help to those Rotary Clubs that are considering setting up a relief for blind and partially sighted people. These steps sketch the difficulty of the task and highlight the parts that are in need of careful attention to complete a relief. (Following this order is not always necessary.)

We wish good luck and success to every Rotary Club that wishes to take up the responsibility of such a valuable project!
