RAWCS have now activated our account with Charity status. We can receive donations on the RAWCS website.
We have met with RC Kampala Ssesee Islands to look at a 2 phase project - initially to provide hygiene kits to 200 displaced families. We have also met with the RC Mbale City and the Red Cross Mbale Branch to create a joint project to rebuild and resupply a school which was destroyed in the floods.
We need to raise awareness and create a promotion strategy for our fund-raising campaign to begin. We are looking for support to get this campaign off the ground.
Family Notices
Please welcome our new babies into our family.
Congratulations to the Jallow and Kalanzi families for the safe arrival of their sons - Eric Jallow (left) and Jeremiah Mukisa Kalanzi (right).
On a less happy note, we offer our condolences to members who have lost a loved one this month. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Resources Acquisition - Zimbabwe
Learn to Swim Teacher and Rotarian, Lana Pinto is hoping to start a learn to swim program for the local community school. She has engaged the local swimming fraternity and is rolling out a project to gather second hand swimwear, goggles and caps to help the children get started with the right equipment. Teaching will commence as soon as the weather warms.
