ROMAC
Our district ROMAC child Chriselda and her mum Belina flew home on Sunday 18th February back to Timor Leste. Two year old Chriselda had cardiac surgery on February
6th at the Royal children’s Hospital. She recovered very well and enjoyed her stay in Melbourne having visited Healesville Sanctuary, Arthur’s seat and a visit to the Dandenong market.
The host family Elizabeth and Tim Jones did a fabulous job in looking after Chriselda and Belina. The hosts are non-Rotarians but were very keen to help Romac after losing their 4 year old
son to a cardiac problem in 2015. Also a big thanks to the Rotary Club of Dandenong South East for being the sponsor Club. At the Club’s farewell meeting to Chriselda and
Belina, Elizabeth and Tim handed a cheque for $15,000 to ROMAC which was from their amazing fundraising efforts since the passing of their son.
