Hello All,
BCMF are located at Mae Sot on the Thai /Myanmar border.
Mostly they work across the border in Myanmar.
Recently they have distributed wheelchairs in North
Thailand ,
and once into Laos.
We have been sending to BCMF since 2016 ,
they along with
Lombok Forgotten Children
our most prolific suppliers of feedback.
Debbie Singh from Wanneroo RC
has been to Mae Sot
many times
and John Knight, twice I think.
=========================================================
Dear Don,
How are you?
Hope everything is well with you.
I would like to pass on to you feedback from the
recipients
who received wheelchairs during our latest wheelchairs
fitting
missions in Thailand.
The first mission was help on 22 January in Mae Sariang
District,
Mae Hong Son Province.
The second mission was help between
10-17 March 2020
in the Eastern provinces of Thailand.
During this mission we
provided 90 children with wheelchairs.
I have attached some photos and stories from that missions
below.
I will send you some more photos in a separate email since
there are
quite a lot of photos to share.
Thank you for all you help supporting our missions.
hope
you enjoy the photos with the stories!
Kind regards,

Dear President and Rotarians,
President
Mark Lucey and the members of the Rotary Club of Mount Beauty wish to
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
for your much appreciated support with
our project to purchase Air Purifiers
for the three Aged Care Facilities in
Mount Beauty, Bright and Myrtleford.
We were particularly thrilled to get
support from such a distance
and hope that we can be of service to you some day.
As you are aware, the bushfire season
was horrendous this year
and our valleys were impacted enormously with the
thick smoke
that hung in the air for over two months.
Elderly residents were
evacuated to Albury/Wodonga or Wangaratta
but there was still the cost of lives
lost.
We purchased 45 Breville Air Purifiers
at a cost of $22,500
and each of the above towns have received 15
to be
installed in the Aged Care homes and hospitals.
Without your help, this would not have
been possible
and we are extremely grateful.
Kindest regards,
Rotary Club Mount Beauty
Mark Lucey
, who was president of the Rotary
Club of Mt Lawley
in April 2020 but the trip has been
postponed to April 2021.

by heading here:
