Future International Project

Today's special guest was 2005 - 2006 Youth Exchange Student Germana Dalberto.  Germana joined us via "Skype" from Jerusalem where she is working on her PH.D..  Her curriculum is focused on Palestine.  Germana spoke to the club briefly on an idea she has for a new joint International project.  As next year's Rotary focus is on Literacy, Germana is suggesting a joint venture with her Father's Rotary club in Rio Grande du Sol.  It is suggested that this be a "hands-on" project with 5-10 members traveling to Brazil to assist in the construction of a library.  Currently, there isn't a library available for adults in their area and Germana and the Rotarians there would like to do something about that.  Steve & Germana will provide more details as they become available, but for now if you are thinking this sounds interesting, update you inoculations and brush up on your Portuguese.
