James and Zoe gave us an update on progress at the Mission's hospital in Kolkata. A couple of years ago we made a significant donation to the hospital development project. We first heard of this work in a presentation back in May 2011 and we subsequently explored the possibility of using the Rotary Foundation's Matching Grants as a joint Clubs project - this was approved during the following year.
It was good to see the results of our fund-raising efforts.
