Twinning with St Ingbert Rotary Club in Saarland

Stroud Rotary is twinned with St Ingbert Rotary Club

‹ › ×

You may remember our joint venture with our twin club St Ingberts in Germany to collect thousands of pairs of spectacle frames and lenses to send to Sri-Lanka.

There were a few hiccups along the way with transporting them direct from Germany to Sri-Lanka so Lackshman and Jim from Stroud Rotary Club had a little trip over to France where we met members of the German club and have now got the consignment back in the UK ready to export to Sri-Lanka.

We would like to thank everyone who donated and a huge shout out to First Call Auto Rentals for very generously discounting the cost of a van for our trip.
