LAST WEEK's MEETING
 
RAWCS Meningoencephalocoele (MEP) Project
 
 
Last week we had Peter Gray Honorary member of RC Phnom Penh  speak to us about the MEC project .
Paul had lived and worked in Cambodia for several years when this condition was brought to his attention.
MEC  is a life threatening facial/cranial deformity occurring predominantly in rural/ poor areas of SE Asia but specifically Cambodia. The condition is operable but few sufferers have the means to access help.
RC Phnom Penh together with  the RC Bendigo Strathdale, and in cooperation with the Children's Surgical Centre Phnom Penh,  set up  a RAWCS project to provide counselling and surgery for children afflicted with MEC.
More about this project at  https://www.facebook.com/mecproject/
