Peace in the Middle East
Aug. 28, 2014
Description: The topic of Israel and the Middle East is never far from the headlines, particularly so this summer. For those who would like context for understanding of the Middle East current events, this question and answer format and dialogue should improve understanding of this complex part of the world. Mike will provide a very brief history (less than 10 minutes) to set the stage for how the Middle East got to where it is today. The rest of the time will be spent answering Rotarian questions such as: Why has peace been so elusive between Israel and the Palestinians? What are the obstacles that each side faces? What is Israeli society like? What is the status of women and minorities there? Will there ever be peace? Why should the U.S. care?

Sep. 04, 2014
Background & Summary - Abul is a Bloomington, MN Rotarian. He is truly someone who walks his talk and has dedicated his life and resources to helping the people of his homeland in northeast India just south of Nepal. International Village Clinic (IVC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-sectarian organization, dedicated to bringing health and medical services to the poor villages of India. The health clinic brings technology, skill and energy to achieving these goals, while respecting people's culture and complementing existing resources.

They began with no buildings, no equipment and a staff of 6 people. In a little over a decade, the program, the facilities, the equipment and staff have grown approximately tenfold: • Today they are annually serving approximately 60,000 patients, from over 70 villages in a curative program and 150,000 people (48 villages) in a preventative program • A staff of 55, including 4 doctors • A full-fledged functional hospital • 24/7 emergency service • 12 bed in patients ward • Baby delivery service • Special eye diseases, pediatric and gynecology one day camps • Nutritional supplements and vaccination to approximately 2300 children and over 350 pregnant women • Prenatal care for over 350 women • Family planning services to approximately 8000 women • 576 health education seminars in the 48 villages |
