The portable scanner unit was transported into Ukraine and forwarded on to Nina, the secretary of the Rotary club in Cherkassy.

The shipment also included dental restorative materials which were a total surprise for the Stomatology  department at the hospital.

Clothing, blankets, log burners and a generator - all donated to the rotary club by local residents - were also included in the shipment that was given to the local people in Cherkassy.
