Rotaplast
Volunteer teams of
doctors, nurses, and Rotarians travel to provide surgical correction of
cleft lip and palate deformities for children and adults. Rotary clubs
on location provide local arrangements and host team members. Our club
helps with financial donations. Our members participate on the teams.
The Kennett Square Rotary
Club financially supported this child in the 2010 Vietnam Potaplast trip.
 "I am pleased
to report that the surgery went well, and thanks to your support he now
has an opportunity for a normal life. It is not often that we get the opportunity
to make such a profound difference in someone’s life. Thanks to the support
of your club, and all its members together we have accomplished just such
a change." Don Heebner, Chairperson Rotary District 7450 Rotaplast Committee
PolioPlus
Since 1988, Rotary
International has been joined in this effort by the World and Pan American
Health Organizations, UNICEF, CDC and private foundations. Individual Rotarians
help through contributions and participation in National Immunization Days
in other countries.
Group
Study Exchange
Our club has hosted
Group Study Exchange Teams from Thailand and Bangladesh. One of our members,
Jenny Armitage, was the Team Leader for the Group Study Exchange Team to
Thailand. Group Study Exchange allows a small group of young professionals,
led by a Rotarian, to learn and experience cultural and vocational practices
in another country for a period of four weeks. Each year a team comes to
our Rotary District and a team goes from our District. Team members are
hosted by a different Rotary Club for each week and team members stay in
the homes of individual Rotarians. Group Study Exchange provides the opportunity
to make friends and promote understanding with people from other countries.
2007 the plan is Italy! Speak Italiano?
Youth
Exchange Students
Over the years, our
club has supported many inbound and outbound high school aged students
who go to another country to attend school for one year. Our club also
invites students hosted by other District 7450 clubs to speak at our meetings.
