HAITI WELL DIGGING/WATER FUNDRAISING
Well Digging in Haiti
Rotary Club of Dundas Tuesday, March 29, 2016 Lunch meeting
Guest Speakers: Roy and Norma Sheldrick
Roy and Norma, members of the Ancaster Rotary Club began a fundraising project in 1996 with the goal of making a difference for the people and children of Haiti. A total of 258 villages now have capped wells and clean water. Roy indicated the work goes on and sustainability is now important. (Well repairs and training of villagers to maintain the wells)
Roy and Norma are seeking further Dundas Rotary Club support for the sustainability of this project. Q/A on the education of villagers to maintain their healthy natural waterways, the cost of drilling and making a functioning capped well ($5,000.00 CDN), repairs and maintenance, keep the project going, and the deforestation issue in Haiti?
Introduced and thanked by Kamal
