International Service: Humanitarianism in Action

Bob Morrow, club director of international services explained what World Community Services is all about and how our club can prepare for a major project in a developing country. In order to access a Rotary Foundation Global Grant our club must have a minimum of $15 000 that the District and Foundation can match. The club has been budgeting for this the last two years. There are, however, specific criteria we must meet to be approved. The project must benefit a large number of people, offer self help, meet one or more of the Foundation's six areas of focus, be Rotary sponsored with a Rotary club associated with the project location, and be self sustaining. The club International Service Committee consists of Bob Morrow, Wayne Massey and Peter Dendekker. Next month they will present some options for us to consider as we plan for a major international project which meets one of the long term goals of the club.
