Dear Rotarian , With thanks to you and your fellow Rotarians, Operation Cleft Australia, together with our Bangladesh partner have brought a smile to the face of more than 1,500 life threatening, Cleft suffering Children over this last challenging 12 month. Rotary continues to prove that ‘When the going gets tough the tough get going’. Our surgeons and hospital support staff have not stopped, despite all the tough times they have continuing to operate – to change faces and change lives! This attached Newsletter includes some amazing stories of children and families impacted by life changing surgeries; you have made possible. It also highlights the exciting and unique way in which Rotary Clubs and Rotarians support Operation Cleft Australia. Thanks for your help in transforming the lives of so many desperately needy children. Through your gift and your Club’s support, these children can participate in school, benefit so much from the life-long value of education, enjoy good health, make, and sustain friendships, play normal sport and …. Smile! Thank you, PP Bruce McEwen Chair, Operation Cleft Australia Inc. & Moinul Islam OCA Inc. Good Will Ambassador. Rotarian, Rotary Club of Box Hill Central |
