ROTA Special Volunteer Appeal
Appeal for Plastic Surgeons to help in Rwanda and volunteers for Polio NID days in Nigeria.
An Appeal for Plastic Surgeons to Help in Rwanda
At the request of the Health Minister of Rwanda, a medical mission is contemplated for a group of plastic surgeons to repair damaged bodies resulting from the unrest there in the mid 1990's. Past Rotary International President Raja Saboo will be organizing a group of doctors from India and would welcome surgeons from other countries to build a truly international team.
PRIP Saboo expects that the medical mission would take place some time between mid-November 2012 and be completed by mid-April 2013. The actual length of time a surgeon would remain in Rwanda would will also depend upon the suitability of the host country, our own team building process and the funding arrangement.
Inquiries should be sent to PRIP Saboo at rksaboo@kddl.com
Polio NID Volunteers Needed for Nigeria !
Thousands of people who have gone on previous NIDs will always remember putting the drops of polio vaccine into the mouths of young children. No Medical experience is required. Anyone who wishes to be a part of one of these highly rewarding humanitarian events may get more information from ROTA West Region Chairman Chief Michael Olawale-Cole at olawacole@yahoo.com or from Carol Pandak at carol.pandak@rotary.org. NID volunteers travel at their own expense and with groups of like-minded volunteers.
