Obabisi Gwamna, Editor, Foundation Minute: Welcome to Week 4 of RI's Month of Water and Sanitation. Nothing says confidence like a strong feeling of self-worth, and in this month of celebrating women, Foundation Minute picks up the story of young girls in poverty-stricken parts of the world whose sense of dignity and self-pride is often hurt by very poor hygiene and sanitation. The District Stewardship Subcommittee of the Rotary Club of Rajapalayam Kings City (RID 3212) recently boosted the morale of female students at a government school by donating a girls toilet block, along with other facilities with a Global Grant aided by TRF. A student expresses gratitude for the new toilet block because it is "posh and neat; and the washbasins help us clean our hands easily during lunch. Now I enjoy attending school." Yours in service, |
