Speaker - Harold Sharp on ROMAC

“Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children”

ROMAC provides surgical treatment for children in Australia and New Zealand from developing countries from our Pacific Region in the form of Life Giving and dignity restoring surgery not accessible to them in their home country.

Harold and Gina have produced a wonderful video detailing the history and works of ROMAC, narrated by our very own PP David Bacon.

With Covid restricting travel, there is a significant backlog of potential recipients that ROMAC will be looking to assess and hopefully provide assistance in the near future.

Whilst Doctors and volunteers provide their time and services free of charge, there are significant costs associated with bringing these patients to Australia and hosting them with their family member through the surgery and recovery periods. It is these costs that ROMAC meets through its funding.

There are many ways to help the team at ROMAC, you can provide donation to our club, using our ROMAC link will ensure these funds are passed onto ROMAC, for larger donations requiring a tax deduction, you can donate direct to ROMAC via their website.

ROMAC also have a wine promotion through Tyrells wine, where a percentage of each sale goes to ROMAC, Click here to view the options.

There are some great heart warming success stories created by the great work of ROMAC, allowing kids to grow up and lead normal lives in their community. Read more about ROMAC and these amazing stories here.

Thankyou to our member Harold Sharp and fellow Rotarian Gina Growden for speaking with us and bring us up to date on the important work of ROMAC.

The reach and depth of Rotary is just amazing. What do you think ?
