After a few hours rest we spent the late afternoon and evening with the Dickoya Rotarians. They are a young Rotary club but very active. We are the first GSE Team they have hosted (and we should not be the last!) and they were anxious to share with us some of their projects. They support the clinics at the Dickoya District Base Hospital where Rtn. Dr. Chandrajan is the director. They also provide wheelchairs for the hospital and Dr. Chandrajan was pleased to show us his medical waste recycling program. The photo is of the recyclables room (not a very creative photo I know, but I was really tired after the climb and I hadn't gotten a nap). The club also has provided fishing boats and nets for tsunami relief, runs blood collection drives, and sponsors an eye clinic providing cataract surgery to those who cannot afford it.
