Community Service – CS Dora

• She gave us a review of the very successful John Fawcet Foundation village visit in Banjar Sumita
  • That day JFF performed 6 cataract operations, over 200 pairs of eyeglasses were given out and treatment of some eye infections
  • This was a repeat from Banjar Let in Desa Taro because that village visit for 3 banjars was not too successful as it rained VERY hard and one banjar could not come. Plus another banjar was having a ceremony.  So instead of 3 banjars, only one attended.
• Dora gave the UGM Payangan social hygiene activity report: our club sponsored Rp2m for the medical test strips and the students handed out over 630,000 rp of toothbrushes. So it was a very successful day
• Allan discuss the completion and handover of the water project #17 in Muntig.  A project visit is planned for Wednesday August 2 to review Muntig progress and  survey of a new project in Git Git.
• DDF funds status update, Sunset needs to appoint a PE and sign an MoU with the district. Further conditions will be resolved after the MoU.
