REPORTS

The MEC Project

Meningoencephalocoele (MEC)

A few weeks ago we had a presentation about this RAWCS project.

Subsequently, the Board approved a donation to support this project which provides surgery and post operative care for people in Cambodia suffering from this condition.

Russell advised that he had been unable to find the bank account for this particular project and had contacted the speaker - Peter Gray - with regard to this.

He was advised that the project was temporarily on hold due to the Coronavirus crisis in Cambodia as well as some other problems.

If you missed the presentation, you can refer back to report in the archived bulletin for 19 May 2021.
