It is my pleasure to write on behalf of Mr. Sukhjinder S Sandhu (Sukh Sandhu) who has assisted us to set up the eye camp with the help of the other volunteers and camp members, which aims to initially screen 1500 people for signs of mature cataract and provide treatment that they would otherwise not afford.
His duties and responsibilities during the eye camp also included marketing the campaign, communication with all the patients and their family members, providing assistance to all the patients who were either coming out of the operating theatre or were waiting to go in, and entering the vital records of the patients in our computer database.
We feel assured that Sukhjinder has a genial temperament and can efficiently work in a team. His sense of responsibility, maturity beyond his age in dealing with people, understanding with other camp members makes him universally acceptable as he gets along quite well with all. His potentials will prove to be a substantive asset to any establishment / undertaking he may join furtherance of his career.
We wish him best in career ahead.
This is to certify that Sukh Sandhu was instrumental in collating and preparing our March Newsletter which is distributed widely across Victoria. The Newsletter is used as a marketing tool to obtain donations for our Not for Profit organization which is funded wholly by DHS. The donations allow us to provide additional resources and undertake essential projects, therefore providing the people we support with a quality of life and the ability to lead everyday lives. At all times Sukh conducted himself in a professional manner. His response to all queries and changes were immediate and accurate. His design work was impressive and all communication and work carried out by Sukh was prompt and efficient.
Communication and processes can sometimes be a little difficult when one organisation is so far away from another and to have the pleasure of dealing with people like yourself, who always offers fantastic customer service, just makes the whole experience much smoother and more pleasant.
Thanks for all your great assistance, you are a gem.
