The project's funding, through a Rotary Global Grant, will be used to provide much-needed equipment, including an ultra-sound machine, delivery table and incubator.

These will be of particular help to mothers and their babies.

There is a need for improved prenatal diagnostic capabilities in the municipality and the ultrasound machine will be able to diagnose abnormalities in pregnancies and other life-threatening conditions.

And the incubator will provide a controlled environment for premature or sick babies to grow and develop.

The equipment will be housed in the Municipal Medical Clinic in Murcia.

At a reception at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club, Murcia Vice Mayor Johnny Reosura ex-pressed his sincere gratitude to the Japanese Rotarians for choosing Murcia as the recipient of the funding.

A Rotary Global Grant exemplifies what a project should be: a sustainable endeavor that aligns with one of Rotary's areas of focus, and that is designed in cooperation with the community to address a real need.

The Kyoto Rotarians were accompanied by Leah Tinsay, president of TriCastle International Inc. and members of the Rotary Clubs of Silay and Bacolod-Marapara.
