Honduras Micro-Finance Project
From John Gilvesy, IPDG, Rotary Club of Tillsonburg
 
It is a great pleasure to announce that our Global Grant application for microfinance in Honduras has been approved.  The recent message from The Rotary Foundation reads as follows:
 
"Congratulations! Your global grant application for funding to help boost economic development by providing loans and training to individual clients and SME clients in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, submitted by the Rotary Club of Puerto Cortés (D-7080) and the Rotary Club off Tillsonburg (D-7080), has been approved by The Rotary Foundation and The Rotary Foundation of Canada. The award is in the amount of US$ 251,070."
 
That is approximately $326,000 Canadian ... providing a hand up to those less fortunate, living in poverty in Honduras.  And ... it could not have been accomplished without those who contributed, including more than 80% of the Rotary Clubs in District 7080.

THANK YOU for again making a real difference.  Please share this information with your members ... and note that working together, with contributions by MANY, does have huge, sustainable IMPACT.
 
There will be an opportunity to visit this project in the Fall.  Stay tuned!
 
Again, thank you ... for being my inspiration!
