International Committee
As the international committee successfully wraps up our multi-year project in Ethiopia, constructing five new freshwater wells to provide clean, safe drinking water to thousands of people in the region, we are excited to explore new opportunities to leverage the international network of Rotarians worldwide. The committee is working with Dr. Wayne Koch, E.N.T. surgeon at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, to identify specific needs in Cameroon, Africa, where our funds can help train and equip local surgeons.
Cameroon suffers from an overwhelming shortage of qualified surgeons. Conditions considered routine here, such as appendicitis, are often deadly there, simply because of the lack of access to care. Our goal is to leverage the funds our club raises, using matching funds from our Rotary district and Rotary International, to help create sustainable, life saving medical systems in Cameroon. As Rotarians, we're proud to be able to make a difference, here in Howard County and around the world.
