Re: TA Chairman - Apology

[Peter Mbuchi Methu]

Dear President Kathy and fellow Rotarians,

Mr Kinuthia Wamwangi called to inform me that last evening, on his way home from an official function, he got involved in minor traffic accident - he had had an intense meeting that he chaired.

Although he was not seriously hurt, his vehicle was significantly damaged to the extent that he cannot immediately use it. He apologises for not being able to fulfill his wish to be our guest tonight; but proposes that we feel free to invite him at some other date. 

He is open to an opportunity to speak at length to more Rotarians on the critical issue of appropriate Devolved Government under the New Constitution. In turn, I propose that  Kathy and her board take up the matter with the Chairman of Transition Authority from there - perhaps with a view to convening a join fellowship for clubs within Nairobi County. Just an idea. 

I will provide Kathy with Mr Kinuthia Wamawangi's personal telephone number for the purpose of direct communication. I will gladly play role allocated to me in facilitating collaboration with Mr Kinuthia Wamwangi.

Till later in the afternoon.

Peter

These persons and their families live within Eastlands; Mrs Eudia Atieno Wanjara (85) living at City Carton with her daughter Carolyn Akinyi. Eudia was bitten by a snake 27 years ago and has been undergoing treatment since then. For the last five years, she cannot walk any more and her daughter who is extremely vulnerable has had to care for her. Eudia's arms are strong enough to use the wheelchair to move around the house and beyond; David Eshiteti Mutende, unmarried victim of polio living in Kakamega (Bukura Division) as a village cobra but with relatives here in Buruburu Phase II - We have photograph of of him taken by a neighbour using mobile phone; Zipporah Mwothiru (70-74 years of age) is a victim of acute rheumatism and lives in Igembe North. Her son in law is a pastor of the Methodist Church here in Buruburu where he is also engaged in community service. The family is willing to organize for transport here on the day of presentation - if absolutely required by the club;  Ms Kabui (45), mother of a teenage daughter with serious mental disabilities. Kabui is a victim of polio but very determined to support herself and her daughter. She lives in Ndumberi, Kiambu, but has relatives living in Buruburu Phase II. Members of the community are willing to bring her here on the presentation day - once again if absolutely required but an old photograph is available. Fellow Rotarians, I have been explain to the relatives and potential beneficiaries that the club is using two criteria: absolute need of the wheelchair and inability to acquire one. I hope the club will favourably assess the cases and step in with the greatly needed assistance.  Yours in Rotary, Peter Mbuchi  -- "Among the Thorns I Smell the Fragrance of the Rose About to Open" .....
