RAWCS is promoting the RAM’s adopt a village program in PNG which involves a Rotary club making a donation to cover the cost of providing treated bed nets for a particular village. The adopting Rotary Club would receive a coloured folder showing the Rotary Against Malaria story. The folder contains a full colour certificate, statistics on the village that has been adopted and information on the Rotary Against Malaria Programme in Papua New Guinea. Clubs and districts that want to establish contact with the village or villages that they have adopted can get information via the Rotarians Against Malaria Website www.ram.com.pg
