Mark in the village on Sumba | Mark Savage writes about 'Sumba Island' |
I was at Sumba last week for 4 days,and I am happy to report that our clubs mosquito net project has reduced malaria in 2 villages over the past 2 years by over 80%. The people here are so poor, the only other time I have seen such poor places is in Africa. Those beloved treated mosquito nets |
Dr Claus Bogh with two children saved I have personally known Robin for four years and she helped deliver one of my sons in February this year. I see how hard she works and how she puts her own needs aside to assist others. Her dedication to helping those less fortunate is humbling. In September this year Robin is rightfully being awarded the Alexander Langer International Peace Award in recognition for her selfless dedication over the years. We here at RC Bali Seminyak really want to help Robin and her team, however the small donations we have raised to date simply have little impact. (the last funding we raised came from RC Bromsgrove, Maekong Thai restaurant & the Bromsgrove Fire Service who jointly helped to raise six thousand five hundred pounds for Robin's clinic in Aceh. |
