The following email from Rotary International is confirmation that Global Grant
GG1524200, the Lolkisale Water Project in Tanzania is officially closed. I want
to offer thanks to all of you for raising funds for the projects. Without your efforts
we would not have been successful in accumulating the matching funds from our
Rotary District and Rotary International. Please pass these thanks along to all the
Rotarians and friends that helped you.
It was an honor to work on your behalf in completing the project. I know it must
have seemed like the project would never end, but it was successfully finished
and we actually accomplished almost twice as much with your money as we had
planned. Not only did we install rainwater catchment tanks and gutters, we also
were able to drill a well in the village with the funds remaining. This was made
possible by the tireless work of our friends in the Arusha Rotary Club, in particular
Lucy and George Vrontamitis, their associate Zenon Gasper, and my close friend
Michael Shotii of Arusha and Lalkisale, and Rebeca Mendoza with Rotary International.
We completed a great project and without all your help it would not have happened.
I hope you are all as proud as I am.
