Improvised operating room at Terrat Health Centre.
During the first phase of the project, the team worked in challenging conditions at the Terrat Health Centre. Space was limited and maintaining sterility was extremely difficult. Nonetheless, the team adapted with ingenuity to deliver critical eye surgeries in this temporary setup.

Surgery underway at Dr. Msovu’s private clinic in Arusha.
Despite its basic setup, Dr. Msovu’s clinic in Arusha offers a more controlled surgical environment. Here, a cataract surgery is being performed with the aid of a surgical microscope and essential instruments, providing a safer and more efficient space for the ophthalmology team to operate.

In this photo from the first phase of the project, the team operates under difficult spatial and environmental constraints. With limited mobility around the patient and suboptimal sterility, the commitment of the surgical team to patient care and safety is especially commendable.

Our Club recognized a major life change for Dana Atwell and Sue, as they make their way to live close to family in Ontario. At a recent meeting, and reflecting the appreciation of all members of the Rotary Club of Dartmouth, Dana was presented with a Paul Harris Award. The award recognized Dana's participation in Club events and administration in so many ways since 2005. He has served as Club President, as a participant in community and international service projects and in the important role as our ClubRunner guru. We wish Dana and Sue well in their new home, and hope to see them from time to time virtually and in person.
The Fall 2022 Wyse Road Highway Clean Up day took part on Saturday, October 29th, with about 10 Rotarians attending along with our RYE person, Chiara. Everyone was well equipped with safety gear, garbage bags and grabbers, although it did take 4 people to assist one of our members assemble his safety vest correctly. We retrieved lots of coffee cups, recyclables, sheet metal and other things tossed to the side of the road in Burnside and ready now for proper disposal.
