Generous donations are urgently sought

Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd has a registered project in Bo, Sierra Leone (No. 46/2007-07 sponsored by the Rotary Club of Turramurra) whose aim is to build and extend the Bo Children’s Hospital and to provide hygiene and basic health care and education. The hospital now has a need of the highest order to provide an isolation ward.
