There were about a dozen members present including one from Bratislava who brought greetings from there. The other external member was Euan Martyn from Towcester who was also the speaker. Euan spoke about Mary's Meals which is a charity established to make sure that every child receives a nutritious daily meal in a place of education.
£13.90 is all it costs to feed a child for a whole school year....
Euan also spoke about the Backpack Project which he says Towcester Rotary is committed to supporting (see below for further information). This could be coming to Buckingham schools, so don't throw away your old backpacks yet!!
So I have huge respect for the Rotary Club International (my Dad was a Rotary president in his town many moons ago). Long may they continue to support communities both here and abroad. (More information about them here)
