This document discusses funding needs for medical equipment at the Arayampathy Hospital in Sri Lanka. Arayampathy Hospital serves a population of 32,000 people and is the district hospital for the Manmunai Pattu division. However, it is underfunded and understaffed, with only three doctors. The hospital urgently needs repairs to its dilapidated morgue and refrigeration system to properly handle and store deceased patients. The document also lists medical equipment needed to improve acute and critical care services, such as cardiac beds, monitors, infusion pumps, and defibrillators. Obtaining cost estimates from local suppliers for this priority equipment is highlighted.
The Base Hospital in Mallavi, Sri Lanka serves 45,000-50,000 people but lacks intensive care unit (ICU) facilities. As a result, emergency patients must be transferred 63 km to Mullaitivu General Hospital. Given the poverty and hardship faced by the local population, establishing an ICU at Mallavi Hospital would reduce transfers and hardship. The project seeks $52,000AUD/$46,000USD to refurbish space and purchase essential equipment like ventilators, monitors, and beds to create a functional ICU and improve access to emergency care for the community.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Hello Everyone,
Last Monday night we were treated to an excellent presentation by Claire Thompson
and Mark Wallace, who provided great insight into the GSE Team visit to England,
back in April. It was interesting to hear about all the fantastic vocational visits that
the Team were offered, together with great feedback on the warmth and kindness of the
Rotary families who hosted the Team during their trip. It sounds as if the
organisation in the UK was excellent, with the trip providing the Team with a truly
memorable experience. It is encouraging to recognise our Club’s role in assisting to
make this possible for Claire, through our sponsorship. Claire has made it very clear
that she hopes to maintain a long term relationship with the Club Members of The Hills
Kellyville, and that she will provide ongoing support to the Club through her media
links.
Next Monday we have the opportunity to learn more about social networking from
Haran, who has become quite an expert in the area. Haran, as many of you are aware
is now involved in producing the District newsletter, which in turn is providing us with
some excellent information in our own Weekly Bulletin. It will be an interesting eveni ng
with a focus on how we can publicise information about our Club on the Internet.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
Warm regards,
President Bobby Redman

Members of the project team had inspected the garden on the 29th July at
the invitation of the owners Paul and Jennifer Leone and were totally
impressed by this spectacular garden as well as the ent husiasm and support
of the owners.
The project team had already had one meeting at which tasks had been
allocated and would hold weekly meetings from now on. This would be one
of the biggest projects the Club has run and would need the full support of
all members, partners and friends to be successful. One critical task was
deciding which charity to nominate as the major beneficiary as this would
feature prominently in our promotion.
A video of the last Open garden event at this venue which was for the Guide
Dogs in 2008 was shown during the meal.

Guest Speakers
Claire Thompson and Mark Wallace were introduced by President Bobby to
speak on their experiences on the GSE team visit to the UK in April.
Claire thanked the Club for sponsoring her and said it had been one of the
best experiences in her life. Mark, who is also editor of Rotary Down Under
was the team leader and was most impressed by the quality and performance
of the team members.
The time in the UK had been very full -on with activities nearly every day and
a change of hosts every week. Despite England experiencing the wettest
April in 20 years it had been a really exciting time as it was the lead up to
the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and people were just starting to
get excited about the Olympic Games.
Both Claire and Mark were most impressed by the professional way visits had
been organised and the enthusiasm of the host Rotarian GSE Clubs, as well
as by the friendliness and hospitality shown to them.
There were at least 2 vocational days every week and 4 in some weeks. One
of the highlights was a visit to News Limited’s printing plant which is the
biggest of its kind in the world. This not only prints News Limited pape rs but
also other newspapers under contract. Two other highlights were being in
the main news room at Channel 4 where the presentation style was very
different and much less formal than in our TV News and a visit to the
House of Commons where they inter viewed a local MP and watched
proceedings from the visitors gallery. In Claire’s
current role with the Hills Council she was also happy
to meet the mayors of a number of cities and
councils including having a long chat to the Mayor of
Stevenage about the differences between Australian
and UK local government. They also met the veteran
Olympic commentator Stuart Story who entertained
them with some of his experiences.
The team gave 12 presentations including one at the District Conference in
Torquay which was also one occasion when they had good weather. They
changed the presentations weekly to reflect their continuing experiences and
this was very well received.
All in all both agreed that it had been a very successful and memorable
experience. Mark also highlighted the fact that Rotary now had at least 8
switched on media people from both the incoming and outgoing GSE teams
who knew a lot about Rotary and who could be expected to be sympathetic
to us. While he felt that they should not feel under pre ssure to join Rotary it
was quite possible that at least some may do so, which would be a real
bonus.

Vocational Service Corner – PP Haran Ramachandran
Through the Avenue of Vocational Service, Rotarians
contribute their professional expertise and skills to address
societal problems and needs, promote high ethical standards
in the workplace, support career planning and other
vocational activities, and represent the dignity and value of
their profession. Rotary Images/Alyce Henson
Vocational Service Month promotes business integrity, professional development
Carlos Früm, governor of District 6440 (Illinois, USA) and a member of the Rotary Club of
Northbrook, teaches business principles and entrepreneurship to Maya high school students
as part of his district’s ongoing service project in Guatemala.
"Vocational service gives Rotarians the opportunity to help others escape poverty and gain
a measure of self-respect," Früm says. "As business and professional leaders, we have a
duty to lead and encourage good ethics through vocation."
Through vocational service, Rotarians contribute their professional expertise and skills to
address societal problems and needs, and to promote high ethical standards in the
workplace.
"Rotary's focus on ethical practices as part of vocational service has been a central part of
my success in my business, professional, civic, and personal life since I became a Rotarian,"
says Paul A. Netzel, vice chair of the Vocational Service Promotion Committee and past RI
director.
Rotarians have two benchmarks for promoting professional integrity: The Four-Way Test
and the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions.
"Rotary's Four-Way Test has served as an easy template for me in weighing the pros and
cons of countless issues and decisions I've had to address over my career," Netzel says. "It
has helped make me a better Rotarian."
Netzel says vocational service sets Rotary apart from other service and humanitarian
organizations.
Rotarians can support vocational service by
Strengthening the emphasis on professional diversity in member recruitment
Identifying ways to emphasize professions in club activities
Placing a stronger emphasis on business networking with integrity at the club and
district level -- which also is a means of attracting and mentoring the next
generation
Emphasizing the connection between The Four-Way Test and the Declaration of
Rotarians in Businesses and Professions, and their importance to the values of
Rotary
