Rotaplast Needs Volunteers

Posted by Terry Rezendes Curran on Mar. 22, 2024

Rotaplast is back up and operating and our District is exploring sponsoring a mission in the Rotary Year 2024-2025 with District Governor Tom Hankard. They have already done a mission to Columbia, with Chelsea Rotarian Juan Gallego as the mission leader. The Cebu Mission, which we had sponsored for many years, has been moved to March so we are investigating other missions. Rotaplast sends multidisciplinary medical teams to provide free reconstructive surgery, ancillary treatment, and training for the comprehensive care of children with cleft palates/lips and other deformities.

In the meantime, there is an opportunity for Non-Medical Personnel to volunteer for an upcoming mission to Vietnam. Rotaplast is looking for non-medical volunteers to join a surgical trip from June 30 - July 12, 2024.
