Wheelchair Trust Chairman Daryl Sanderson (picture on right) announced last week that the recently sent container full of wheelchairs, destined for Sri Lanka, will be recognized by the incoming Rotary International President, K.R. "Ravi" Ravindran (see picture on left) who hails from Sri Lanka. An extract from an email by Rotarian Andy (Rotary Club of Burleigh Heads) who is coordinating the project between the Surfers Sunrise and the Rotary Club of Colombo:"The Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan and the children of Sri Lanka are most grateful to you and your club for this kind gesture. They will communicate with you directly once the container is cleared.
It is simply fitting that when the Container of Wheelchairs for kids reach Sri Lanka on 1st July , Sri Lankan Rotarian Ravi Ravindran takes over as Rotary International President on the same day. We should call this project, “To RI President Ravi, with Love from Surfers Sunrise, Australia."
Well done, Wheelchair boys!
What a start for Ravi's theme for 2015/16:
"Be a gift to the world"!
