Hazel Reinhart, with The Foundation for Cancer Care of Tanzania (FCCT), spoke to the club about the work they are doing to expand cancer care in Tanzania. Cancer cases in Tanzania are rapidly increasing with over 35,000 cases per year. Due to limited access to preventative care, screening, and treatment, over 80% of those diagnosed will pass away. FCCT is seeking funding from Rotary to fund a family care hostel. One of the main barriers to care is that families do not have a place to stay when they travel to the hospital.
Please join us for the Better Angels Skills Workshop to:
Learn skills to have respectful conversations with people who disagree with you.
Clarify differences
Search for common ground
Deal with the stress among family members and friends whose view differ from yours
The Better Angels Skills Workshop will help you learn how to disagree without being disagreeable. After a presentation, you will have an opportunity to practice conversation skills. You will practice in a pair with someone with a similar viewpoint.
As you know, Rotary is a neutral, non-political organization and does not endorse parties or candidates. We believe life – and our clubs- are richer with diversity of thought, culture, and yes… political leanings.
We respect the goals of Better Angels as an agent to help citizens practice listening, empathy, and appreciation for those who we disagree with.
Hope to see you on October 18th!
