 Launched in March 1999, the FULL
STOP Campaign is already significantly increasing public
awareness of the issues surrounding child abuse. With your help,
we can build up the momentum needed to change public attitudes
permanently and bring about positive action in the years to
come.

 Cleckheaton
Mile of Coins Project
The Cleckheaton Mile of Coins Project took
place recently at The
White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds. Members of Cleckheaton
Rotaract, with help from Rotary laid £1000 out in pennies and two-penny pieces in order to publicise
the cause of the Candlelighters and help raise
money.
The Candlelighters are a group of parents of children treated at
the Yorkshire paediatric oncology and haematology Unit at St.
James's Hospital in Leeds who are suffering from malignant
diseases or severe blood diseases.
Supported by relatives, friends, medical and nursing staff they
are dedicated to combatting childhood cancer, leukaemia and
serious blood disorders and to making the lives of the children
and their families more bearable.

 The
Aquabox Appeal
Disasters come in many forms - earthquake, cyclone, flood,
refugee displacement - but all share a common factor. The most
urgent single problem facing the relief agencies is the
provision of a supply of safe drinking water.
Aquabox
is an official project of Rotary
International in Great Britain and Ireland and once
in its destination region can be used to purify up to 1100
litres of pollute water making it safe and pleasant to
drink. |
