What better time than 8th March to celebrate the contributions two of our members are making to the worlds of science and medicine?<\/p>\r\n

Sarah Neill in Antarctica<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

Sarah Neill<\/span><\/strong>, Marine Biologist and Honorary Member of our club, is currently in Antarctica. Following in the steps of Shackleton, she and the rest of the all-women team are on a mission to document climate change, study marine life and of course honour female polar explorers. The team will document the warming of the \u00a0Southern Ocean, conduct underwater research and promote STEAM* \u00a0leadership for women. To describe the fascinating things they are doing and seeing would take too long here, but you can follow their progress, and see some truly inspiring photographs here: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sarah.neill.1612<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Helen Cooper in Kenya<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

Helen Cooper<\/span><\/strong>, one of our newest members has recently returned to Africa for two months to work with disabled children. An occupational therapist, Helen has recently spent a month working with the Kyaninga Child Development Centre in Uganda. Now she is working with APT Kenya, \u00a0a project which\u00a0makes sustainable assistive devices for children living with disability. Travelling along dusty roads into the mountains, in 35 degrees heat to reach remote villages Helen also holds outreach sessions teaching and empowering parents to get involved with their child’s therapy.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Grange-over-Sands Soroptimists salute the brilliant efforts of both our members, and all the other women forging a different future for the world’s girls. Happy International Women’s Day<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
