Provision of advanced medical training equipment and supplies will equip a new Medical Capacity Building Training Center being built within the existing Ain Wazein Medical Village (AWMV) and is due to open in April 2022.

Background to our Meeting with Rotary Cadmos - Lebanon
Beirut Docks Explosion August 4th 2020
In normal times Camberley Rotary club would organise a public collection in response to such a disaster. Speed of response is important to meet the needs of people affected and to be effective the appeal needs to go to the public whilst the News of the Emergency has a high profile in the national media.
A special arrangement with Surrey Heath Borough Council means they will issue a Street Collection license in hours. Most years the club collects funds for at least two emergencies which range from Earthquakes to Hurricanes usually in the Southern Hemisphere.
But in this case, because of Covid restrictions, we could not undertake a collection. In addition Shelterbox would not be engaged in this instance and they have been our chosen way of ensuring the help went directly to aid those impacted by disasters.
Tom Newman of the Camberley Club had relations in Beirut who had connections with Rotary Club of Cadmos, one of the three Beirut Clubs . Contact was made and the Camberley Club used funds from the Charity account and social money accrued during the lock down to send 2000 Us dollars and a further top up.
The Cadmos Club purchased and distributed 100 sets of bedding and towels to people who had lost their homes and all their housed hold items. They produced a video of the project and attached sent the attached letter and photos.
We were very impressed with the professional way Cadmos reacted and their use of social media to communicate the needs of their community and demonstrate how effectively they used emergency funds. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3297820940305878
It turns out that this small club has an exceptional record of delivery projects in Beirut and in April this year won a prestigious Regional award called ‘The Power of Goodness’. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no839nU6nNw
Health Care Service is Exhausted in Lebanon.
The medical corps have been working continuously since the big fires of October 2019 and then the uprising, then Covid 19 pandemic and then the massive Docks explosion in August 2020 which wrecked Beirut and it’s most modern hospital.
The health care professionals are exhausted, some doctors and nurses have left the country and immigrated to less stressful places. The ones left are struggling to meet demands from all sides, they need support.
All that in a poor economic situation and a seemingly hopeless future
