On the morning of Sunday, 21st January, 8 Rotarians went to Lesang Bana in Metsimotlhabe to do the 4th and last distribution of some of the proceeds from the "Donate a Can" project.

The team arrived at Lesang Bana just before 11:00 and we were met by Sister Paulina . Sister Pauline advised that they did not have a safe place on the complex to store the food as they had experienced a lot of theft and so they wished to store the food at St Josephs on the other side of Gaborone.
Some of foodstuff was offloaded and presented to Sister Pauline who accepted it on behalf of Lesang Bana. Photographs were taken of the handover and then the foodstuff was loaded up again and Rotarians Roy and Alan took it to St. Josephs.

Before leaving Past President John gave Sister Pauline a tub of sweets that was left over from the Carols by Candlelight evening which Sister Pauline distributed to the children who were present.
