It's looking like Sunshine this
weekend,
so pop down & grab a bargain.
Freshwater Bay recently donated.
a class set of 30 magnifying
microscopes.
to the RC Goioere, Brazil for children in a
disadvantaged school.
The delivery process was a
little complex as to send from WA
would have been more than the
cost of the microscopes,
so, friend PP Buff Wright, RC Claremont, CA
took them back to CA with her
after her visit to Perth.
and sent them on to Brazil.
Finally arrived, unfortunately
the Club had to pay Duty on them,
sadly, more than the value of the units,
however, are thrilled with the new resource.
they are able to offer the students.
Last week saw the final clean-up
of all 18 homes.
Ready for the 8 ladies on Tuesday, 11th.
It just amazes our group how everybody has come together.
to make this project a truly community affair.
