Pagosa Springs Rotary ClubThe Pagosa Springs Rotary Club is also supporting blind students attending the National School for the Blind in Niamey. With just Rotarians' spare change, this is an easy and affordable way 
for each of us to support our International Service work in Niger.
Our goal is to collect $25 each week over the next year to provide the supplies these students need at a cost of about $125 each. We hope to send them enough money over the course of a year to supply each child with basic supplies. The members of our twin club have promised to send us updates on our support. This gives us the opportunity to be reminded on a regular basis about this vital work in Niger.
Here are the kids we will support, with their teacher and school head:
