Our Guest Speaker was Dr Peter Beadle the recently appointed District 9675 Representative for Rotarians Against Malaria. Peter used us as his Trial Run for future speaking engagements.
In September 2020 Peter organised a presentation for the Club on the Work that RAMs was doing and his reward was this appointment.
Our Club subsequently made a donation to RAMS to provide Mosquito Nets.
Peter took us through the cycle and the spreading of this debilitating disease and the steps means and steps being taken to eradicate it.
Basically, a mosquito bites someone and infects them and when the next mosquito bites that person it gets infected blood and passes the infection along to the next person.
One of the most effective prevention is treated mosquito nets which protect people from bites and kills mosquitos when they settle on the net. Proper drainage in villages also removes stagnant water breeding grounds to this end RAM’s is providing tools and well as funding spraying of pesticides. Of interest was the fact that Timor Leste has almost eliminated the disease -work is now being done in West Timor to prevent the infection levels rising because of the very porous border.
Peter finished up by organising a bucket collection and collected $10 per head for this worthy cause.
We challenge any Clubs Peter speaks to in the future to match or better our per capita contribution.
If anyone would like to contact Peter about speaking at other Clubs or events he can be contacted on
