I would be very important to cover the grandbay area,because a very large number of aged people live there,,grandbay should cover ,font st.jean, pitchlin,grandbay,bellevue,petite savane, bagatelle ,,,these communities are a bit isolated from the town,,many elderly are above 90 years old and needs hearing aid…
Great that Rotary can make a difference all over the world.
