PERSONAL Citizenship: Dual Canada/USA

Speakers Chair 2017, Vice Pres 2018
I am Canadian and my husband is American. We moved to Cape Town from New York City in 2013 for my last work assignment. We fell in love with South Africa and decided to retire here with the intention of also spending some time in the US & Canada during the Cape Town winter. That hasn't happened due to Covid, but in 2022 we hope to be overseas for several months. I'm used to staying connected while travelling, so will simply carry on with my Rotary duties from wherever we are.
My health education & wellness interests are twofold:
1. Vision/Eye Care I am managing the Hout Bay Vision Testing programme, in which we go into five primary schools (those in underserved areas) to provide vision testing. If the learner requires glasses, the prescription is provided on the spot by our partner optometrist and spectacles delivered at no cost to the family or the school. I've attached a copy of my recent presentation on the project. My goal is to expand this programme into the two Hout Bay high schools and then work with other Rotary Clubs to expand to other communities in need. Children who can not see can not learn and so getting these learners the specs that they need is vital investment in improving their ability to get a good education.
2. Dental/Oral Care I spent 28 years working for Colgate-Palmolive, much of that time focused on oral care, working with dental professionals. I am not a dentist, but I love dentistry! I understand how critical good oral health is and how poor oral health can significantly impact overall health. I've been involved in oral health studies and outreach supported by Colgate. I am particularly interested in instilling good oral health habits in children and educating their parents about its importance.     

Motalib Weijters
Rotary Club of Uden, The Netherlands 

Motalib Weijters, who was adopted by Dutch parents, knew very little about his biological family or about life in their home country of Bangladesh. In 1994, he reconnected with his birth family, and he saw the needs of people in their area. He worked on water and sanitation projects in Bangladesh and later founded a clinic for mothers and children. He also established a cervical and breast cancer treatment center that offers services to women and girls in need. These initiatives have helped more than 21,000 people. The clinics are financially sustained by support from nongovernmental organizations and Rotary grant projects carried out by clubs in the Netherlands and Bangladesh.
Rotary International honored six members as People of Action: Champions of Girls' Empowerment on 11 October, the International Day of the Girl Child. This distinction recognizes the honorees' commitment to improving girls' access to education, health, and sanitation and hygiene resources, as well as their work to create environments where girls can flourish. Empowering girls is one of RI President Shekhar Mehta's key initiatives, and he is encouraging clubs and districts to consider how they can accomplish this through all of their service projects this year.
The honorees will also be recognized at Rotary Day at UNICEF in March,
Motalib is one of the Champions of Girls' Empowerment.

Oumnia Bouaddi

My name is Oumnia from Morocco, I am a final year dental student and a public health enthusiast. I am interested in health education and communication in areas such as oral health and tobacco control. I am in the process of launching a tobacco awareness campaign in public schools in my hometown.
I have already tried out the content on a focus group.
I have received training from #wecanendthetrend, an organization based in Kentucky, USA and tried to use the behaviour change strategies taught to me to build the content and also adapt for the local context.
I do not want for this to be a one time thing, instead, I want to make sure these students themselves become "No tobacco ambassadors" in their school.
