Belated Holiday Greetings Update on Bob’s return to Africa: due to changes in health requirements for equipment usage on Airlines and acclimation to a c-papp machine,(many of my hosts will no longer hear me snoring through the walls) more time is needed to secure airline clearances, test train for usage prior to my return. It appears that late January is the present target date for return to Africa. Meanwhile while in the USA I will be available to visit District and Muti-District Assemblies, Trainings and Conferences to provide African Project opportunities and market the African shirts produced inZambia. We are still in need of funding cosponsorship with the Newport Irvine and the Livingstone Zambia Clubs. Please contact Bob. Your matched $150 contribution enables you or your club to choose the village or group you would like to target for distribution. Final assembly will be done in Zambia. This is an RI Match Grant.
The Livingstone Dambwa Park situation is still in limbo and Club’s can help with the purchase of some play equipment. Bjorn Eckland one of the originators of the project from Danville Sycamore CA Rotary and Sweden has donated the funds fo the soccer goal standards and the basketball`standards. The Orange CA club is donating picnic equipment also. Please help us finish the park in 2011. Pleasew contact Bob for information. This equipment is not part of the present matching grant and does qualify for DDF if your District agrees.
New grants are needed for District 9210’s beginning of a new round of “Water for Schools” program in both Zambia and Zimbabwe. The rural areas are seriously in need now! Clubs and District are needed to sponsor wells for $5.000 or more. Clean Water & sanitation increases the life expectancy by 70% up to five years Please join in and sponsor a borehole.
