The highlight of our evening together
was Klaus's incredible PowerPoint presentation presentation on the work
that the Stiftland Club, under his leadership, has done to provide eye
surgeons and state-of-the-art ophthalmic surgery equipment to a remote
town in the highlands of Ethopia.
Klaus plans to return to Ethiopia in May of this year to progress the next phase of the project to built a custom designed permanent ophthalmic surgery and hospital to replace the current shared facility. As is customary, club banners were exchanged. |
