"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+

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

The "Namutumba" : Emmeline appeal is now closed

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the appeal which raised 7745 USD
Emmeline's operation went well and she continues to recover
