Helen has been invited to join, at her own cost, an Interplast team heading for Samoa in late November this year. She received the invitation from Associate Professor Misha Coleman, the CEO of Interplast after it appears the person already earmarked to go had to withdraw. Misha will be attending our Club on the evening of Wednesday, September 30, 2023. Details and registration HERE.
Helen will be the third member of our Club to join one of these teams. She ticks a number of boxes to qualify.
She has a personal connection with Samoa, she has been identified as a personal supporter of Interplast, she is a member of a Rotary Club that has been a strong financial supporter of Interplast and. of course she is a doctor. Whilst it is somewhat unlikely she will be invited to actually perform surgery, I'm sure she will be put to good use in some capacity beyond just an observer.

As you may recall, Helen and I established a connection with the Rotary Club of Samoa in July. We will, of course, be in contact with them to see what we can do together in relation to this trip.

Well done Helen, and well done Rotary BMC!
