On March 14, 2009, at our Rotary District 5110 quarterly World Community Service (WCS) meeting in Roseburg, Oregon, we learned that The Rotary Foundation (TRF) had funded our project! On February 28, 2009, TRF wired $17,243 total poject funds to the bank account of the Club Rotario Salcedo, Host Club (project site) in the Dominican Republic. Isn't this exciting news?
Josefina, Host Club Primary Contact & Project Coordinator, confirmed that the funds are on deposit in their account. And she informs us that the project will commence in early April with classroom preparations and then computer equipment installation.
With the austerity of Matching Grant (MG) funds at TRF, we are extremely blessed that the timing of this project eased us through the new limitations with full funding. And the pride and satisfaction is to be shared by each of you, 10 individuals and 11 Rotary Club,s that are participating in the support of this project. There will be 300 excited rural Salcedo high school students thankful for your passion to serve. You will be opening new horizons for them to communicate with the world.
Thank you for your Service Above Self in Building World Understandings,
Norm Malmberg, Primary Contact, Past President
Rotary Club of Scott Valley, D5110, Club Sponsor
Josefina Urena, Primary Contact, President Elect
Club Rotario Salcedo, D4060, Host Club
