Tawa Rotary extends a special invitation for you to join us next Tuesday, 19 June, to hear an inspiring speaker: Martine Udahemuka. Martine arrived in this country as a refugee from the genocide and civil war in Rwanda.
“The journey to get from the home where I spent the early years of my life, to being resettled in Palmerston North is laden with many memories I would not wish on my worst enemy. One day we were going to school as normal, the next, we were wondering when it would be our turn to die. Death was on our doorstep and on our lips for the next while. New Zealand certainly came to our rescue.”
A buffet dinner will be served at 6.15pm with Martine’s address at 7pm, followed by questions from the floor. We expect the meeting to conclude by 8.00pm.
The venue is The Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, Tawa and there is a charge of $25.00 for the 2-course buffet meal, payable on the night.
RSVP by midday next Monday, 18 June, to: tawarotaryclub@gmail.com #TawaRotary #Rotary
