Repairing bodies and rebuilding lives in the Asia Pacific Region

As many of friends know I am not the type of person to celebrate my own birthday, so this year I have decided to do something a little different.

I am asking my friends and family in lieu of gifts to donate to InterPlast through the Rotary New Zealand for the work they do in the Asia Pacific Region.

Interplast (https://interplast.org.au) is a charity that sends teams of volunteer plastic and reconstructive surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and allied health professionals to provide life-changing surgery and medical training in 17 countries across the Asia Pacific region, as well as providing training programs to help provide skills to professionals in these areas.

As an Australian-based charity New Zealanders can't get the tax benefit for donating direct to Interplast so they have teamed up with Rotary New Zealand (https://www.rnzwcs.org) to allow individuals who donate to get the 33% back per donation above $5.
