Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Vijay Vairasamy is the Rotary Club of Victoria\u2019s new president for this rotary year, while the club directors are Angele Low, Marie-Pierre Lloyd, Jalan Natham, Brian Orr, Pamela Madeleine, Nandu Raghavani, Sunil Dhanjee, 0liver Levi and Bernard Elizabeth.<\/b><\/p>\n

Fifty-three (53) years since its inception, the club is among the oldest service clubs in Seychelles with 27 members and known for its various community initiatives encompassing the whole country.<\/p>\n

In the past year, the club has undertaken projects in environment such as cleaning up the Grand Anse beach, planting trees with children at the biodiversity centre, carrying out blood donation drives with its youthful members, rotarians providing floor and vehicle stickers to encourage social distancing with the Covid-19 epidemic with partners such as Seychelles Licensing Authority (SLA) and State Assurance Corporation of Seychelles (Sacos), assisting the health sector in training for life support programme and giving even tokens of gratitude to frontline health workers and now sponsoring educational professionals in oncology studies.<\/p>\n

It also assisted the elderly home with timely donations of towels and bed sheets and financially assisting fire victims of recent home fires.<\/p>\n

The club, under its new president Mr Vairasamy and its club members, will continue lending their volunteer skills and expertise this year with plans to assist in renovating the North East Point hospice with much-need maintenance works and visitor benches, provide 60 custom-built specialised wheelchairs for children with cerebral palsy, provide special educational tools to facilitate communication and learning for visual impaired and so improving their confidence to lead more independent and productive lives.<\/p>\n

They also plan to keep an ongoing programme to complete palliative care training for every heath sector worker and the community at large which is a programme for rapid assistance for persons showing symptoms with heart issues.<\/p>\n

The club theme logo for this year is \u2018Imagine Rotary\u2019 and its overreaching aim is to guide members to dream and implement more ambitious programmes to empower a community in all its core social aspects \u2012 in health, education and environment \u2012 and to make everyone\u2019s life more joyful and productive.<\/p>\n

A happy community is a health community. With the support of its partners and the public everything is possible.<\/p>\n
