RIP Gents Chairman: Rob H Called for reports: PROGRAM: Alan Lunghusen Alan, a member at Rowville Lysterfield Rotary delivered an interesting presentation on his Kiriwina Water and Sanitation Project. After a visit to Kiriwina (an island in New Guinea), Alan decided to help the village communities in some way. These people lead a very primitive lifestyle. It was decided to improve the fresh water and sanitation needs of the island, specifically connecting existing tanks and feeding fresh water to the hospital building, installing wash basins and taps in each hospital ward as well as Western style toilets in the schools. Alan estimates this to be at least a 2 year project with an estimated cost of approx. $100,000 of which $30,000 has been raised so far. Pres Elect Paul read some housekeeping notes and advised he would see us all at Changeover next week!.
