    OPPORTUNITIES
    INJUSTICE HAS A CURE: FUNDRAISER FOR MATERNAL TEACHING HOSPITAL IN SIERRA LEONE
    Nov. 1 - 30, 2021. When Sierra Leonean mother Kumba Moseray gave birth to her first child, she knew she’d receive a quality of care that she never could have anticipated only a few years earlier. Her experience was made possible by a partnership between Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Health and Partners in Health, an organization seeking to expand access to health care around the globe. Now, PIH is working to construct the Maternal Center of Excellence (MCOE) in Sierra Leone, which will feature a fully-equipped teaching hospital catering to mothers and children and triple the previous hospital’s capacity for care. This fall, the Bainbridge Island Youth PIH chapter is hosting a fundraising drive to support the MCOE. Your donation would go directly to mothers in need, supporting the construction of the MCOE and its continued function. To learn more or to donate, visit our website.

    KITSAP COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
    Appraisers from the Kitsap County Assessor’s Office are now conducting on-site inspections throughout Bainbridge Island. Washington State Law (RCW 84.40.025) requires inspections of all real property throughout the county at least once every six years. The current inspections should be completed by April 2022. Appraisers from the Kitsap County Assessor’s Office will be following social distancing protocols to ensure the safety of the public and staff. Appraisers will attempt to stay in their vehicles while conducting onsite inspections, however, if an appraiser does need to approach an occupied residence, they will be wearing a mask and will maintain at least six feet of physical separation from anyone on the premises. If you need to approach an appraiser we ask that you please also maintain at least six feet of physical separation. Appraisers do not drive county-issued vehicles, however, their vehicles are marked with the proper county identification on both sides.
