Limes Lane Refugees Raise £240 for ShelterBox

Twenty Rotarians, friends and neighbours gathered at the home of Joan Moffatt on Sunday for a charity lunch in aid of ShelterBox. The tent was erected and contents of a box displayed. Visitors were interested to see the box and made additional contributions. At least one visitor took a leaflet with the intention of making a regular contribution to the charity.

The sun shone and we all had a good time, thank you Joan.

Solar Powered Lighting

The photographs show the components of the solar powered lighting system developed and made by David Rees and Dennis Udy for the Disabled Newlife Centre in Kathmandu, Nepal at a cost of about £450. The system provides for 30 LED lamps powered from a 12 volt car battery charged with two panels of solar cells measuring 300 x 450 mm. It weighs about 12 Kg and will easily fit into a suitcase to be carried as luggage. You can see a short video of the orphanage and the children on www.nepalichildrenstrust.com
Members of the International service Committee believe that the system has wider applications and is worthy of further research and development.

Some enjoy the water
Some enjoy the food
Some Enjoy a drink
Some just offer advice
Some do all the work
And - others just play with their balls!

Our thanks to Nick and Alison for another excellent evening. We all had a good time.
