We then enjoyed an excellent presentation by Colin Watson, the International Service Chairman of the Blyth Rotary Club, on the Lake Wamala Project, initiated by Colin and the Blyth Club. This project is intended to provide clean water and sanitation facilities in the Mityana district of Uganda. It is being supported by a number of Clubs within the District as well as our Club - and the local Club in Uganda. More details in the slide-show above.
