Día de Rotary en las Naciones Unidas

Jordi Manelic Gassó, Pasado Gobernador del Distrito 4060, nos escribe lo siguiente:

Estimados Amigos,

Incluyo el programa del "Día de Rotary" en la sede de las Naciones Unidas, mañana sábado 8 noviembre 2008. Durante dicho evento agotará un turno la Sra. Grace Agwaru, de Uganda (Africa), la primera paciente operada bajo el Programa Regalo de Vida (Gift Of Life) hace 33 años. El Gift Of Life está celebrando en este año el haber operado su caso número 10,000, en todo el mundo. Incluyo por igual la presentación Power Point que hará Grace en la ONU.

Saludos,


Jordi M. Gassó
