Richard is part of Bulamu Healthcare, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to treat the sick and strengthen health systems serving Africans most in need. In the presentation, Richard will share that newborn mortality is the number one cause of death in Uganda, with maternal mortality also a major problem. He will discuss how a group of 20+ Rotary clubs in Uganda and the U.S. are working to equip and provide training leading to better newborn and maternal care for more than 60 maternity facilities throughout Uganda that deliver more than 50,000 babies per year.

How to Defang Critics: Lessons from Rotary's Past
Apr. 18, 2023
In the 1920's, author Sinclair Lewis parodied Rotary in his best-selling books. Rather than complain, Rotary laughed along, invited him to contribute to their magazine, and ended up nearly taking credit for his Nobel Prize in Literature. A model that anyone can use when dealing with criticism. 1) History is an interesting place and not something to be afraid of, even when it serves up negative information; 2) Criticism can be a valulable learning experience; 3) When writing or communicating any message, edginess can be judiciously used to draw attention. About Neil: Neil Steinberg is on staff at the Chicago Sun-Times, and the last general interest daily news columnist working at a newspaper in Chicago. A contributor to many major publications, from Esquire to Rollling Stone to the Washington Post, he began writing for Rotary Magazine in September and his article on suicide and handguns is slated to run in August. The author of nine books, his latest, "Every Goddamn Day," based on his blog of the same name, was published in October by the University of Chicago Press, and includes a brief history of the founding of Rotary.
