UKRAINE SPEAKER

Our Club was delighted to welcome Rotarian Will Jackson earlier in April to give us the up to date situation on the war being waged by Russia against Ukraine. Will is Rotary Great Britain and Ireland Ukraine team member, Rotary District 1100 Lead for Ukraine, and Honorary member of the Rotary Club Ukraine Unity, as well as a member of Hereford Elgar Rotary.

His presentation was impactful, emotional and moving as he told of the very real brutality of the Russian forces, and he brought alive the suffering endured by the Ukrainian people.

Our members will be fundraising to support Ukraine during the month of May.

MUHEZA HOSPICE CARE

Our Club members were delighted to welcome Dr Karilyn Collins MBE to our meeting on 9 March, when Karilyn gave a wonderful talk about her work in Muheza in Tanzania.
Karilyn was awarded the MBE in 2011 for services to palliative care in Tanzania. She recognised the lack of palliative care available while working in Tanzania from 2001 and founded Muheza Hospice Care, providing HIV testing and counselling and outpatient palliative care at the Diana Centre at Teule Hospital (now St Augustine's Hospital), as well as setting up a home visit service, and providing palliative care training for the staff and local community. The charity has continued to expand over the years, and functions as an essential service for its patients and their families.
We are pleased to be able to support the 25th Anniversary Appeal Campaign to ensure the sustainability of the services provided, and Rotarian Steve from our International Team is pictured presenting a cheque to Karilyn.

SUPPORTING ST. AUGUSTINE'S SCHOOL IN TANZANIA

Recently we were delighted to be able to support the Porridge Project for St Augustine's School in Tanzania with a donation, which means that the students can have a breakfast on arrival in the mornings. This helps to fuel their interest and attention, so that they are ready to learn. Many of them will not have been able to eat before leaving for school. One of our members is Steve, who has visited the school recently and has seen at first hand the beneficial effect of the funding. Some very happy faces in the photo received from the school!
