Rotary Club of Blacktown City Medical & Dental Mission to Bacolod – Update

An Update Shared by Rotary Club of Blacktown City Member Pam Carne – 3 February 2024

The team put in a long day today, the alarm went off at 1.30am and we headed downstairs to the airport shuttle, for a 4.10am depart to Bacolod. And there at 5.30am was a very cheery greeting committee in the dark with a beautiful banner expressing their welcome.

*It is hard to smile before the sun comes up, even after being gifted such beautiful masquarad*e laes

After a delicious breakfast we headed off to our rooms for a short kip, and to familiarise our selves with the immediate neighbourhood.

*A chat over breakfast with Rotarian Excel, about her work with I Home, and formerly with Homes for Humanity.*

We were taken to a very special restaurant Sugba Sugba for one of the specialities chicken in salad.

*Lunch was this delicious chicken dish, renowned in Bacolod. Serviced with garlic rice – not a veggie in sight*

Then a pamper afternoon for those of us who enjoy a massage, and return to the Hotel for a friendly evening with members of 3 Rotary Clubs, hosted by the Metro Club of Bacolod.

*The members of the Rotary Club of Bacolod held a welcome dinner with a green themed evening here at our Hotel*

We are off on our first Medical Mission tomorrow about 85klms away, so staying overnight. We are all excited and curious about how tomorrow will unfold.

*The team ready for their first day on the job tomorrow.*
