President's Message for April  2025
Maternal and Child Health is the Rotary International theme of the month April, so onn April 5 our member Tamara Thorn shared her personal experience and worries about the mental health of young people. She is working  with young people and is concerned by the lack of mental care  for teenagers. She worries that the absence of care will lead to bigger problems in the future. Nearly every source of misbehavior can be linked to untreated mental health issues with youth. Tamara calls it the Silent Epidemic. She called upon Rotarians to look out for incidents in their communities. To work together with schools, doctors and other organizations to help the young people and their families.

I visited an Intensive Care section in a children’s hospital in Argentina in October 2024. The hospital lacked skilled nurses and incubators. I was shocked to see that the nurses moved babies from the incubators to cradles when a child arrived that needed the most urgent care, because they lacked an extra incubator.
 
About 10 years back, I visited my nephew at the intensive care unit in a Dutch hospital. We needed to wear special aprons, masks, and gloves before entering the department. The whole area was full with
machinery. I heard beeps, saw life support machines and babies lying in the incubators. The nurses were sitting behind monitors and overlooked all beds at the unit. I was impressed about the atmosphere. In a way a very calming area and at the same time an area at full alert. Nurses moved without making noise, they talked in a calm manner. Although it is a long time ago I still remember this image very vividly.
 
Being in Argentina and witnessing an intensive care unit without the necessary tools made a lasting impression on me, and this month’s theme brings back the sad memories of how young children fight for their lives and how parents look hopefully to the nurses and doctors, who may not have the necessary resources. I hope we, as Rotarians, continue to contribute to maternal and child health.

ABOUT OUR E-CLUB
As e-club members, we participate fully in Rotary life, enjoying the camaraderie and fellowship with other members and visitors through our get-togethers online. We are  a regular club except we meet online, so we can join in from anywhere worldwide. Our club is perfect for Rotarian globetrotters and those who live too far from a traditional club to attend regularly. Everyone is welcome! 

Our members come from all over the world, giving us access to an international network of friends and fellow Rotarians! And we meet each other individually whenever the opportunity arises. 
 
To communicate with each other we use the following:
  • Whatsapp to communicate with each other in group chats and telephonically.  
  • ClubRunner, where we maintain our member profiles, and where our E-Club documents and our member contact list can be accessed.
  • Zoom, where we conduct our club meetings. It is very easy to use, we send you a link with a passcode to enter the meeting. You will need a device that has a camera to be able to get the best possible experience!

Maternal and Child Health is the Rotary International theme of the month April, and President Elly Scheepers shares a personal experience and a hope.
 
Backpacks and School Supplies for Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.
In September 2021, at the beginning of the school year, we delivered 50 backpacks and school supplies to second-grade students of the Amelia Wilkes Ceseña Elementary School located in Cuatro De Marzo neighborhood in Cabo. This was led by Rotary Eclub of One World and the Principal and staff from the school. The project has been so successful that we decided to do it again in September 2023.
