Weekly meeting Update

Nancy Davis gave a slide slow of her year in Delhi, India. She and her husband Steve decided to give back to the Indian people by educating one child. They choose her drivers daughter, Indra. Nancy gave a thorough presentation on what life was like for this lower middle class family. At the time the Davis's meet the family, they lived in a one room three floor walk up where the family bed served also as it's couch, table, and playground. Educational options for Indra were attending an outdoor school for the poorest of the poor where the children did everything by memory as there were no books. With the Davis' aid, the first school Indra attended was indoors with 3 children to a desk but again, no books. She then moved to a boarding school as a day student. This school had electricity! In 2009, she improved her situation by moving to yet another school. Every time she moved she had to repeat a year. Nancy and Steve intend to continue doing this as long as Indra passes her exams and moves to the next level. She is currently in third grade, the highest level her parents achieved. They hope she will make it to 8th or even 12th!

The Chester Rotary applauds the Davis' who have truly proven our mantra, "Service above Self"
