DONATION OF ARTIFICAL TURF TO THE MOCHUDI RESOURCE FOR THE BLIND

On the afternoon of Wednesday, 13 April 2016 President Bill McLellan together with Past President Barbara Butchart and Rotarians Uli Schmitt, Jon Major and Graham Burt travelled to the Mochudi Resource Centre for the Blind to official hand over the artificial turf that had been laid in the raised area between the children’s residential area which is under shade cloth.

The artificial turf had been funded by the Rotary Club of Christianshavn-Slotsholmen, Copenhagen, Denmark. (Since our visit the Board of the Rotary Club of Gaborone has approved the cost of extending the turf to cover the entire area.)

Unfortunately, Mrs Sophie Moalosi who is a Director of the Mochudi Resource Centre for the Blind and who is responsible for the running of the centre was ill and unable to attend the handover. We continued with the proceedings and persuaded the Master of Ceremonies, Mr Chabaesele to accept the turf on behalf of the centre. ( Mr Chabaesele is a product of the centre and undertakes the Master of Ceremonies duties at nearly all their functions)
