(Entrepreneurship now part of the 6 FOCUS AREAS of Rotary Foundation)
At a recent meeting of the RC of Borrowdale Brooke, Harare, (RCBB) a cheque of US$ 1,160.00 (£800.00) was presented to President Sep of the RCBB for a high density suburb school in Harare.
President Sep then presented the cheque to Mr Stephen Gwasira, board member of Junior Achievement Zimbabwe (JAZ). The funds will be used for twenty-five students from Hatcliffe Senior School, to be mentored and facilitated in the art of entrepreneurship with the professional materials provided by the sponsorship.
The E-Club of London Centenary was represented by PE Jo Ann Ross. The transfer was facilitated by the RCBB, Harare to which the funds had been transferred.
