Director's Reports

Delivery of Hospital Equipment to RARE

On 16 April, club members loaded a truck with surplus equipment from
Buderim Private Hospital for delivery the next day to RARE and our qualified
truck driver George received the following message in thanks:

Thank you for your delivery from Mooloolaba Rotary Club on Thursday morning.

The East New Britain ladies have earmarked the large hospital chairs for their next
container being packed shortly to Rabual.

Dr Som-Ling Leung's cabinets will be shipped shortly to Honiara. Her container is
already mostly packed with building materials for a new dental clinic. There are
some ultrasonic machines and other dental type materials packed and awaiting
transport as well as the cabinets.

Three large bariatric hospital beds will find homes in the coming containers of
hospital goods being transported.

Also attached are some guidelines for book and medical donations - in case you find
more useful items in your area. If you're unsure on any large equipment items,
please just send through a photo and some idea of quantity available, so RARE can
decide whether the item[s] are suitable to receive to ship into our destination
countries..

Finally, please thank your Club members for their support of Dr Som-Ling
Leung. She has single handedly expanded the provision of dental care into many
different areas of the Solomon Islands and often at her own considerable expense.
As a fellow dental professional, I know exactly how extremely difficult it is to provide
adequate levels of dental care into all these Pacific destination countries.

Together in Rotary Service,

Phil Saxby
