It is the town of Aboisso that welcomed the second ophthalmological caravan started by Children of Africa Foundation to help children aged 8 to 15 years.  They were about 300 children to receive consultations.  
The desire of the Foundation is to work for the welfare of African children by providing basic and preventive medical care that they often lack. Then the caravan stopped at Yamoussoukro, the Ivorian political capital. There, the Foundation’s goal was  to provide suitable eye care to children which will lead to their educational well-being.
