Galle, Sri Lanka.
In December last year RJLP were asked to help in supplying a young woman with an artificial leg by a non-Rotarian in Southern Sri Lanka. We contacted the local Jaipur Limb workshop at Mahamadora Hospital, Galle, through the RC Galle. The young woman was in need of intensive physiotherapy to strengthen her muscles and generally prepare her for walking again. In August 2004 the process of physio and limb fitting was complete and Jeewani was able to walk again and get a job.
Actual cost of Physio and new limb, £277.00, was paid for by RC Hamble Valley, District 1110.

Ekwendeni, Malawi.
After five years of negotiations this first phase of providing an Orthopaedic Centre at the CCAP Mission Hospital, Ekwendeni, Nr Mzuzu, in Northern Malawi, was completed. The old maternity building was completely rebuilt to provide this stand-alone facility, thanks to the funding provided by RC Jersey and the perseverance of Rotarians from the relatively new Rotary Club of Mzuzu, District 9210 - and Rtn Hayden Boyd in particular. When the second phase of this facility is completed in 2005, amputees from the Northern region will no longer have to make the long journey down to Blantyre.
