Dale Knight Knows

Dale began with a commendation to  Sunrise Rotarians for their ongoing work in promoting health and preventing disease in Nicaragua.  In deed, on January 6, ground is breaking on the Sabalos Surgical Center, the first phase of a multi-year, multi-club initiative planning to fully equip the Center with complete operating equipment and supplies.

Dale Knight is a Rotarian whose attention is respected as an expert resource on Global Grant projects:  "Get Engaged AND Do Not Be Afraid, Make Relationships, Develop Partnerships", advises Dale.  As a recognized Advance Trainer for Global Grants, Dale reviewed AND emphasized the importance of being familiar with  Rotary International's Six Areas of Focus, as criteria for successful grant applications:  Remember the essential conjunction "AND"! It represents the link between Disease Prevention AND Treatment, Basic Education AND Literacy, Peace AND Conflict Prevention/Resolution, Clean Water AND Sanitation, Maternal Health AND Child Health, Economic AND Community Development.

Where ever Rotary seeks to improve living conditions, the above areas of interest are the basis of assessing and assisting sponsoring and supporting club's resources, individually and through the leveraging effect of Rotary's Global Grant process.  Dale has been involved in Basic Education and Literacy and Health in Uganda  She has conducted Project Fairs where clubs promote their vision and seek partners from around the Rotary world to form relationships and multiply resources.  These quarterly Project Fairs are incubators for change and Dale is an agent for positive change.  She has participated in Fairs recently in Ecuador, Colombia, Uganda and El Salvador.  Ecuador has international reputation as go getters in the Global Grant domain.  Rotary International President John Germ attended the November Project Fair in Cueñca Ecuador to hear and see first-hand of their vision.

Get Engaged, Do Not Be Afraid!  Be one of the many Rotarians Serving Humanity!
