We are delighted to announce that the Rotary Hawthorn board this week approved funding in support of the Mirrors in all Home project as part of the broader End Trachoma 2020 project.

 The funds will be used to supply acrylic mirrors to trachoma affected in the APY lands , which are in the far north west corner of South Australia. 

 This will be partially funded by our special prize draw at our lunch time meeting on 20th February (more details below).

In February 2018, a series of live Facebook videos will run on the EndTrachoma Facebook page to help explain the problem and outline opportunities of service for clubs.   I encourage you to view these videos so as to better understand trachoma and the project.  They are on Facebook each day 19th February to 26 February at 5.15 each day.

A line-up of international and specialist speakers have been arranged, including RI President Ian Riseley. Each video will run for only 10 minutes or so, and will also be available for viewing after the session on the EndTrachoma by 2020 Facebook page. Questions are welcome before, during and after each video; the project team will endeavor to respond as quickly as possible.

Generally the  best way to stay informed about the project is to subscribe to the website www.endtrachoma2020.org.au, and ‘LIKE’ and ‘FOLLOW’ their Facebook page www.facebook.com/endtrachomaby2020.
