The RC Barnet is hosting a presentation evening by the Vocational Training Team (VTT) sponsored by a District Global Grant.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING TEAM (VTT) PRESENTATIONS
This year the District sent a Vocational Training Team to Mumbai, India. The aim of the project was to train Master Trainers in basic obstetric procedures and life-saving skills for mothers and their babies during pregnancy and birth. India has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, and this training programme is being targeted in villages north of Mumbai where there is a particularly high death rate. Rotary in London teamed up with Rotary in Mumbai to put together a programme, and we sent two midwives, an obstetrician and a paediatrician to Mumbai in March to show the Master Trainers how to train others. The training programme is now being rolled out in India by the Master Trainers.

The project has been supported by a Rotary Foundation Global Grant

If you would like to meet the team, a meeting is being hosted by Barnet Rotary Club on Monday 22nd July at 6pm for 6.15pm at Old Fold Golf Club , Hadley Highstone, Barnet EN5 4QN. There will be a two course dinner for £13.
