I haven't had much internet access until I moved to my new host that I am sharing with Hollie yesterday. My last family had two children aged 19 and 20 who were always busy studying to be architects in the room with the computer, so Ididn't want to interrupt their hard work to blog.
Today we went to visit some Rotary Projects, first we went to see the Blood Bank. I did feel a little queasy when they opened the big fridge door when I could see all the blood in the bags! The importance of the work they do was really brought to life when we saw two young children that have a condition which means that each week then need to be given blood. Without this service the children would have to pay lots of money to get the blood each week - which they couldn't afford. Each week around 90 children are given blood at the blood bank.
We also went to a hospital which is supported by the Rotary Club of Central Madras. It is asounding how many people they see and how much they have done to provide high quality medical care.
We have learned a bit more about the projects supported by the Rotary Club of Central Madras today, but tonight they are going to find out a bit more about us as we do our presentation for them. Getting nervous just thinking about it....
