It is a tragic and sad time for the people of Ukraine and the world

As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organisations, Rotary have made peace the cornerstone of our global mission

Ross Rotary are deeply concerned by the deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the escalating loss of life and humanitarian hardship there. Continued military action against Ukraine will not only devastate the region, but also risk spreading tragic consequences across Europe and the world

Ross Rotary join the international community in calling for an immediate cease fire, withdrawal of Russian forces, and a restoration of diplomatic efforts to resolve this conflict through dialogue

In support of Ukraine, Ross Rotary have set-up a donation facility for anyone who wishes to help the peoples of Ukraine during this crisis

Please help us support them by clicking    Donate

Rotary will do everything in its power to bring aid, support and peace to the region

"Namutumba" : Emmeline 

Rotarian Deborah Wesonga of the Rotary Club of Jinja and former head of Kisiki Collage in  Namutumba,  a town that Ross-on-Wye is twinned with in Uganda, has been in contact as her 29 year old daughter Emmeline has a potentially terminal brain aneurysm

 

Emmeline is in need of an urgent operation but Uganda does not have the facilities, therefore she has been transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota USA for assessment
 

Cost of treatment is clearly a problem, Debora has raised 60% by asking friends and family, but is in need of a further £8000+

(Emmeline Pen Portrait)

Many of the former and present pupils of John Kyle High School (JKHS) will have had contact with Emmeline during school project connections. Through events such as non-uniform day, JKHS have been able to help raise funds Ross Rotary have also collected donated funds, all of which can be transferred to the USA to assist with medical costs

Ross Rotary have added a Charity Donation button to our website and social media presence, specifically for this cause. Please consider gift aiding any donation made where possible, as this will boost the amount raised from Ross-on-Wye residents and those further afield
