Guest Speaker
Jonty Shuter Trip To China
 
Jonty gave us an account of his recent trip to china. The trip lasted nine weeks and covered several
major Chinese cities, the three gorges dam, terracotta warriors, yangste river cruise, hong kong
macau, then off to Tibet by 300kmh fast train!. A fantastic experience.
Rotary information
PP Rick Priest took us on a short trip to Mannus. He highlighted the problems that some communities have with technology, not understanding how to get the best from the gifts and work done by worldwide clubs. He was urging the club to do follow up reports.
Rotary International has addressed this situation, and will not make grants available if the project is not what the people want or need, nor if it is not sustainable.
That said, the problem still persists and the answer is education.
