The Edwin Jacks Memorial Limb Camp.
PDG Edwin Jacks, District 1190, was Chairman of Trustees of the Rotary Jaipur Limb Project before his untimely death in 1998. This limb camp was first mooted during a trip to India made by him in 1997 and it was thought appropriate by all concerned that the camp should be named in his memory.
It was anticipated that 600 patients would attend but, as so often happens, many more than this number arrived during the camp. All were seen and treated. The limb camp was organized by RC Purulia assisted by the very experienced Rotarians of RC Dhanbad. A breakdown of treatments provided is not available.
