Karl Heinz
Karl Heinz gave an update on the Community Service Committee meeting held prior to the lunch meeting:
1. Cleft Lip
RCBND has requested Sanglah hospital to to reconsider the increase in price of the Ceflt lip operations. The reply is still outstanding.
2. Mobile physiotherapy clinic for YPK.
On the grounds that the operation of mobile clinics after the funding period is difficult to sustain and monitor the Community Service Committee decided unanimously not to pursuit the project any further.
3. Mifta (boy with facial deformity).
PP Jo Rosarius and Reno reported that the boy after the third operation is at home and doing fine. Therefore the case shall be concluded as far as RCBND is concerned. PP Edward Naus reported by SMS that Michael Tuddenham will participate in the cost of the third operation and is asking for bank coordinates for making a transfer to RCBND. So far the invoice for the third operation has not been received yet.
4. Children with skin disease.
One of the boys suffers from everted eye lids. It shall be attempted to have the boy operated by the John Fawcett Foundation. The treatment with the urea cream from the Australia donor is to continue.
5. Girl with bone disease
From the information available to Reno the girl appears to suffer from two defects. A bulge on the spine and an S-shape deformation of the spine. The latter defect will require multiple operations which Reno doubted can be performed in Bali.
President Dave proposed and the Community Service Committee agreed that the Club should create a designated fund for medical support of individuals.
6. Midwife training Klungkung
The Board in its meeting on 1 September has approved the project and the funding thereof. The mid wife training is scheduled for October.
7. Malnutrition of children in Nusa Dua
PP Mimi and Ari reported that there are 8 or 9 severely undernourished children in Nusa Dua. All but one is already supported by other organizations. In addition there are about 30 children who are undernourished to a lesser degree.
The Community Service Committee agreed unanimously to support undernourished children in Nusa Dua with IDR 2.000.000,- months for a period of one year The funds shall be used to buy food items to be specified by Puskesmas Nusa Dua. The support shall go to the undernourished children in Nusa Dua at large, not to specific children. Puskesmas need to report the use of food items periodically. The obtaining of the District Designated Funds (DDF) in the amount of US $ 675,- requires that the project is started latest by 1 November 2011.
8. Funding of medical supplies for Kerti Praja Foundation
On 18 August Ari submitted a proposal for funding Kerti Praja Foundation (KPF) with USD 3000,- per year to cover cost in medical supplies for HIV tests and STI (sexually transmitted infections) screening.
Emily Rowe, the program manager at Kerti Praja Foundation, gave a brief outline of what KPF is doing and described the working of the associated Clinic Amerta.
The Clinic Amerta is free for all, focussing however on HIV patients. 20-30 patients are treated daily. The clinic has monthly cost of USD 1.000,- for medical supplies and relies on outside funding. A donor from Switzerland recently discontinued its funding.
After some debate the Community Service Committee approved unanimously the support of Yayasan Kerti Praja with USD 3000,- for the purchase of medical supplies for Clinic Amerta. The funds shall be covered by the dedicated HIV fund and are proposed to be disbursed as follows:
USD 500/months for a period of three months equal to USD 1.500,-
USD 250/months for a period of six months equal to USD 1.500,-
9. Sawangan waste management pilot project
Karl reported that Risto has identified a light truck that, if found technical in order, shall be purchased shortly. With the truck deal in place other major items to be purchased are a shredder and waste bins/containers. So far the project is on track to commence the operational phase on 1 November.
The Community Service Committee will submit its recommendations to the board for discussion at the next board meeting.
