DEAR Editor,-
As the programme director and on behalf of our CEO and president Alicia Michael, the Rotarians and myself, I would like to express our sincere and deepest appreciation yet again for the South Coast Herald’s extraordinary support of the 2017 Rotary Family Health Days throughout South Africa last week.

The involvement of Caxton Community Newspapers in the national campaign as our primary print partner was invaluable, in not only mobilising communities to attend the health days, but also in profiling the important partnership between private sector, government and civil society in a common call to action.
The value of placing our advertisement and editorials pro bono in Caxton newspapers was so important and some of the coverage I have seen has been fantastic.
We acknowledge the vital role that you play behind the scenes! I am so pleased to hear that South Coast sites have been fantastic this year. I am so looking forward to manager Bevis Fairbrother’s feedback as well.
It is too early to have a clear indication of the impact and reach, but there have been some phenomenal stories that have been shared across the country and literally thousands of people have been served. We will share our final figures and reports once all reconciliations have been done.
The Rotary Family Health Days simply would NOT have succeeded positively in South Africa without Caxton Community Newspapers’ dedicated input.
For this, we thank and applaud the Herald and look forward to a continued partnership into 2018!
