Changeover
Well I (Cat) had a post ready to go about Changeover when I noticed a report and photos are already up! Great minds hey. So instead congratulations to the new board and thank you to the old board, especially Emily, for getting us up-and-running and creating a club with such a fun and friendly atmosphere. Thank you also to Lionel, Chris, John and the other members of Jindalee and other local Rotary clubs for all your support this year. We look forward to working with you this year. :)
Update from PNG
Here, it is as busy as ever. I am now into surgery: I am just coming back from Daru where we had 167 cataracts and pterygium surgeries in 4 days. It has been so great to see the joy of all the old and not so old people who could see. I am planning to bring the surgeon to Kiunga the first week of August to do the same, I am really struggling with the hospital administration to have the theatre fixed for that date. It is nearly a desperate situation at Kiunga hospital. They only need 2 operation tables, a sterilizer, they bring all their equipment with them. Even that is hard to get, the hospital is no more than a clinic, no doctor since 5 years. Dr Darman the opthalmologist is using a new method for cataract, no stitches, it takes about 7 minutes per surgery, the next day the patients see very clearly straight away, it is really wonderful.
Last week I brought 3 children to Tabubil for cleft palate surgery, this week I am bringing 4 more and next week 3 others, it will be great, I have been waiting for a plastic surgeon to come for such a long time, it is so hard to get them here, there are only 2 in the country. I am glad it will be done, next will be our 17 children with club feet in Daru!
There are also building going on, 2 classrooms for the deaf, one in Daru and one in Kiunga. I gave it to a contractor. It is nearly finished in Kiunga. Daru will start soon.

Great! I have taken this presentation skills workshop and I gained a lot of confidence and was able to prepare effective slides to aid presentation at Ripe Stuff. Check this one out!
