Will work for travel expenses !

The Rotaract Club of Calgary in conjunction with the Rotaract Club of Tegucigalpa is providing access to clean water, sanitation, and education for a primary school in Honduras through a multiphase project. Phase 1 consisted of building a concrete pad with a painted soccer pitch and Phase 2 included building washroom and clean drinking water facilities. Finally, Phase 3 will see a computer lab built for the children. This effort is aimed to allow the children to focus on learning and their futures. Below are pictures of the construction of the bathroom facilities.

 

To strengthen Calgary Rotaract’s ties with their sister club in Tegucigalpa and find areas for further impact, two delegates are to attend the Honduras Economic and Community Development Insight Trip from April 15^th – 22^nd. This opportunity also serves to strengthen ties between Rotaract and Rotary as Rotaract prepares to partner with the Rotarian Action Group for Microfinance & Community Development to grow the Honduras Natural Stone Cooperative project.

Rotaractors are looking for "work for travel expenses" from Rotary Clubs in the amount of $5500 to enable them to go on this trip. Five Rotary Clubs have generously provided the Rotaractors with $4000 as on March 30^th. Therefore the delegates are still looking for partnership in the amount of $1500. “Work for travel expenses”, depending on your club’s preference, could entail presenting the Insight Trip experience and information on Rotary and Rotaract involvement in Honduras to your club or providing Rotaract manpower to efforts your club requires assistance with. If your club is interested in supporting this effort please contact by email Spencer Chaisson or 647-773-6876 or Sarah Khan or phone 587-436-2694.
