President Keith Tatton and Sergeant-at-Arms Deborah Nolan have safely returned from their RESTOR International Mission to Ethiopia. Deborah did a pictorial presentation at our Club Assembly on on November 27th. Most of these photos are in our photo album. To view just click on the link. In the pictures above we have proof that President Keith has learned a new skill and that Deborah is a very courageous lady. Deb is the one in the middle - standing up :)
RESTOR International (formerly Rotaplast Canada) is a non-profit humanitarian organization that provides free reconstructive surgery to disadvantaged children and adults in developing countries. With the support of Canadian medical and non-medical volunteers, they work to build local health care in the countries where they work. RESTOR International’s roots date back to 2004.
Founded as Rotaplast Canada—an organization affiliated with Rotaplast International—they were established as a charitable organization to provide information, guidance, coordination, and support for Canadian Rotarians and non-Rotarians, including medical professionals, interested in participating in medical missions. They have evolved from providing strictly cleft palate surgeries and burn contracture repairs, to now responding directly to local health care needs including other disfiguring and disabling conditions. Their missions include full surgical teams who are able to address these needs, as well as provide medical training on the ground in the countries where we work. Through the generous support of Rotarians, Rotary Clubs, and individual donors, they have provided financial and volunteer support or facilitation for missions to Chile, China, Ethiopia, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
RESTOR International is supported 100% by donations and sponsorships. Your donation helps pay the cost of using the hospital facilities in the countries we work,anaesthetics, antibiotics and other drugs, transporting medical professionals, equipment and supplies, and setting up teaching and public health clinics to help sustain the work after their team has shared their knowledge and expertise. Their volunteers donate their time and pay their own way for travel, accommodations, and meals.
