THE GIFT of LIFE
ROTARY Brings DIALYSIS to the Poorest of the Poor in Porur, India
 
 
As Rotarians, we are all familiar with our claim that we serve to change lives, and as Rotarians, we do our best to live up to that goal through the many projects we support.  But some projects not only change lives, they also SAVE lives!  Through a Global Grant worth almost US$120,000, the Rotary Club of Chennai Capital obtained financial support from Rotary clubs around the world – including a contribution from the Rotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston – to provide life-changing and life-saving kidney dialysis treatment for some of the poorest people in the south of India suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) for whom treatment was virtually unattainable.

 BREADWINNERS! 
at 
LOUGHBOROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOL 

 
The new Teaching Kitchen at Loughborough Public School was inaugurated by Mr. Alan Macdonald’s Grade 7 Challenge North Class on the last Monday of the school year!  The students prepared and baked 16 loaves of bread and clearly enjoyed the experience of being the first class to use the new kitchen, as well as being pleased with the outcome of their efforts.  The Kitchen is part of the the Greenhouse and Teaching Kitchen Project that has been in the planning and construction stages for the past three years.  Once the idea of a previous Grade 7 Challenge Class as a “Legacy Project” for future generations of students, both the Greenhouse and the Teaching Kitchen are now fully constructed, although the interior of the Greenhouse has yet to be outfitted.
 
The purchase of the major appliances, work tables, and shelving units for the Teaching Kitchen was made possible by a CK Rotary Community Service Project Grant that was awarded to Loughborough Public School for that purpose in our Spring Grants competition.
 
CK Rotary congratulates Mr. Macdonald and his students on their bread making skills and wishes all who use the new kitchen success and a sense of pride in all their future culinary achievements!
 
 
IMAGINE…
 
…a classroom without walls, no chalk board, no bulletins boards, no desks, and no chairs, but a place in the forest, with trees, and wild flowers, and filtered sunlight, and rocks with moss, and  squirrels running about!  THIS is the classroom of Mother Nature where 120 young schoolchildren from Loughborough Public School will spend a total of five days during the next school year, experiencing the wonders that surround them in Frontenac Provincial Park.

RECENT SPEAKERS
Speaker March 14th - Steve Fine, Early Melanoma Detection

 

Steve Fine, founder and president of the Melanoma Education Foundation, attended colleges in the Boston area, receiving a doctorate in chemistry from Northeastern University. He then moved to Pennsylvania, completing a year of postdoctoral research at Lehigh University.  After 5 years as Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, he moved back to New England where he served in technical and management positions in high tech chemical companies.  

Shortly after his son, Dan, died of melanoma in 1998 at the age of 26, he founded the non-profit Melanoma Education Foundation and, since 2000, has devoted full time to the Foundation. The primary activity of the Foundation has been educating high school and middle school wellness teachers about melanoma and providing them with free online lessons to educate their students about self-detecting melanoma while it is curable. 

Did you know? - most people only use 25 to 50% of the sunscreen needed to protect themselves?

If you have a 100 SPF sunscreen, and use 25% of what's needed, what is the effective SPF?

If you guessed 25, you would be wrong - it's only SPF 3.1 !!

Steve's full presentation can be seen at https://youtu.be/oXqFooNRpDg

Speaker March 21st - Soren Christianson, Better homes Kingston
