INTERNATIONAL SERVICE MOVIE NIGHT


International Service Director, Rotarian Svet Lineham, coordinated a movie night at the Capitol Theatre, in conjunction with local supporters of the Highlands Foundation, a Board endorsed project for 2013-14. This Foundation provides funds, equipment and training opportunities for health care centres in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, and has been established by a number of Australian volunteer doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to support colleagues working in the poorly resourced health system in PNG. Focus to date has been working with Goroka Base Hospital in the Eastern Highlands and Mount Hagen Hospital in the Western Highlands. Papua New Guinea is a former Australian territory, and our closest neighbour, yet tragically its five million people suffer under a third world health system. The Foundation has no administrative costs and all volunteers fund their own trips to PNG. Our club’s focus is on providing mothers and babies kits to help improve early childhood outcomes.
