Early in 2015 The Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest in partnership with The Salvation Army St. John’s Temple, sent a forty foot shipping container to Tshelanyemba Hospital filled with hospital, community and school supplies.
A Team of 8 travelled to Zimbabwe in September 2015 to distribute the supplies and complete number of other tasks at the hospital and within the community. For a complete list of highlights, and to view pictures, CLICK HERE.
During a recent visit to the hospital by Rotarians in Zimbabwe, it was observed that the mattresses were in deplorable condition and require replacement to assist in the prevention of infectious diseases.
The Rotary Club of St. John's Northwest are currently fundraising to purchase and distribute 100 mattresses in Zimbabwe when the team of Local Rotarians and Members of the St. John's Temple visit in September.

The team has finally purchased their airline tickets and will be leaving from St. John's on Saturday May 17th and will be returning home on Friday June 6th. The team would like to send a BIG thank you to Linda Rowe for all of her support and dedication booking the flights to Zimbabwe. Through various initiatives the outstanding amount still required to ensure that the 2014 project is a success has been reduced from $30,000 to $23,500. That is a great accomplishment but with just two and a half months before the team departs on May 17th the team still needs to raise just over $20,000. The 2014 team would like to remind you of the great concert coming up, this Saturday at the St. John's temple where the CBS Concert Band and guests will be putting off a great show in support of the 2014 Water Project. Tickets are $15 and can be bought from team member or at the door.
This year the team will be selling tote bags and travel mugs to help support their trip over to Zimbabwe. They are really excited about this new fundraising idea and want to thank everybody for your continued support.
