This Summer we celebrate ten years since the first contact was made with a group of young people from Kaniv who were attending the first Euro-youth Project being held in Lambersart, Southborough’s twin town. To mark this event we plan to take a cruise on the “Allington Belle” along the River Medway on Saturday 17th September, leaving the Malta Inn at 2pm sailing as far as East Farleigh and returning to the key near the Malta Inn between 4.00 and 4.30pm.

Excerpts from Newsletter No. 19
OBITUARY: BOB CONSTABLE
The sad news of Bob’s death on 25th March came as a great shock. He is sorely missed by his family and many friends. He served Southborough’s Football Club with great enthusiasm for many years. He was Club Secretary and dealt with Club finances with sound thoroughness, yet still found time to mark out the pitch before matches and make the tea for the players at the end of the game.
He and Audrey have been loyal, generous supporters of S.A.K.A., attending many of our events including this year’s Dinner where he was in good form, such fun to be with. Naturally our condolences have been expressed to Audrey and his family.

DIABETES IN KANIV – AN URGENT MATTER
We have recently been alerted to the fact that there are a large number of people living in Kaniv and the surrounding area who suffer from Diabetes. In this area of some 40,000 inhabitants nearly 2.000 are officially registered as diabetics. A charitable organisation known as OBEREG, which began its work in 2000, received official status on 17th September 2007 and now undertakes amazing work to help the many sufferers of this frightful disease.
However, the cost of treatment and the daily measurement of blood-sugar levels, which is an essential need for diabetics, is overwhelming and the Foundation is seeking help from every source it can to enable it to continue to support its many families, who need help just to stay alive.
Caught early enough it is possible for some people to lead an almost normal life, diet being a major factor. We have been able to gather together some very helpful information, thanks largely to Debbie Cole and Ann Nolan, and this will be sent to Irina Datsenko, who is acting as our contact in this matter. Of course the material we send is aimed specifically at diabetic sufferers in our own country, so its help will be limited to what is affordable and possible in Ukraine.
The urgent need is for money to enable OBEREG to purchase insulin, syringes, blood-pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, test strips and other essential items. Alexander Morgun (Chief Doctor of Kaniv Hospital) pays Tribute to the Foundation “OBEREG” and the volunteer staff, thanking God that in Kaniv there are “people who are not locked in their own troubles, not only in words but in deed, proving their interest in the outcome of treatment of diabetes. These people care not only about themselves but about those who are close by”
In her letter to me, Oksana Torshina (Chairman of the Foundation “Obereg”) states that lack of funds and the unwillingness of the State to be fully involved in issues related to diabetes frustrate their efforts and good intentions. But she is not losing hope in the future. They remain determined to help diabetics to live a full life and benefit society. Without outside financial help she knows it will be very difficult indeed for them to solve these problems. The creation of an annual international summer camp for children with diabetes is much in her mind, for a rest for sick children is a very important thing: a vacation where special care and a proper diet during the summer months will strengthen the children for the harsher months of the year. Any help we can give will, I know, be much appreciated. Money will be wisely spent; of that I am certain.
At our A.G.M. we agreed to support two very worthwhile projects and this we will do. But the situation OBEREG is facing is dire and if you feel moved to support this cause I believe the right way to do so would be to send your donation to our Hon. Treasurer, Bert Alldis, making cheques payable to S.A.K.A. and marking the back of your envelope “OBEREG”. Contributions received will then be totalled up and converted into US dollars, an acceptable currency in Ukraine. It will then be taken to Kaniv in due course.
SAKA T-SHIRTS
An order for SAKA T-shirts will be placed shortly. Please contact our secretary Lynda Emberson for details.
NEWSLETTER PRINTING
We are looking for ways of reducing our printing costs and the Committee have agreed to purchase a Laser Jet Printer which will support the volume of work now created by the success of the Association. If you know of anyone who would be willing to Sponsor us by advertising in our Newsletter we would like to hear from you.
COFFEE MORNING – Sunday 29th MAY
This was a very pleasant social occasion hosted by Lynda and Keith Emberson. It was especially pleasing to have Southborough’s new Mayor, Jacqui Jedrzejewski, with us little more than a week into office and we are delighted to record that she has joined the Association.
