Trip to Kerala and RTU village in India, 5 to 19 Jan 2019

Sun, Jan 6th 2019 at 12:00 pm- Sun, Jan 20th 2019 - 12:00 pm

Visit to Reaching The Unreached, a charity in Tamil Nadu and to Rotary links in Kerala. It is intended to take a dozen people, or so, not necessarily all from the club. Details can be obtained by using the RTU trip option from the 'Contact Us' list.

A local village house in better repair than many around it! RTU has replaced more than 8,000 using building blocks and materials made within their charity.

Club members please log in for more information.

Reaching The Unreached is a charity based in Tamil Nadu, in the south of India. It is locally staffed and has been providing what the locals have called for for more than fifty years, but is supported by various organisations abroad. It has built and maintains more than 100 family homes to provide a safe environment for orphaned or abandoned children, built more than 8,000 weather-proof houses for some families, pays a support income to other familes and widows, provides medical services for local villages, runs and supports schools and cares directly for about 1,000 children at any one time. A visit to the village is a humbling demonstration of what can be achieved by determination and faith.

The visit is going to be linked to a few days spent with Indian Rotarians and some sightseeing and is expected to cost £1,200 to £1,400 per person, all in, with the possibility of adding on extra days, obviously with extra costs.

The Month That Was Nov 25

Early in the month Adrian Clifford, a long-standing, valued and much respected member of the club, unexpectedly succumbed to a heart attack following recent by-pass surgery. A very sad loss of a member whose presence and many contributions will be missed.

Supporting Youth in the Community The many and varied Rotary Youth programmes are one of the many differentials between Rotary and the other service organisations in our community.

This year the Santa Fun Run was held on Sunday December the 7th.

With so many seasoned members, it is hard to spring a surprise, however this month we had a very special surprise.

A month where 'Service Before Self' took front stage

Fun was clearly the theme for December

The many and varied Rotary-supported projects are one of the many differentials between Rotary and the other service organisations in our community.

Wells Rotary Club will be supporting the Wells Community Day at the Cathedral on Saturday January 17th.

An eclectic mix this month: Lifeboats, Hospice Care and Glass Making.

Defibrillators - have we got any and where are they?

Conscious of the need for rapid access to defibrillators following a coronary event, Wells Rotary has been working to make these life-saving machines available to the public at all times. It is an ongoing project.

Each week a team of listeners goes to St Cuthbert’s Primary School to listen to children read. It is so rewarding to see the positive impact on the children’s reading skills.
