Feed the children project visit

On 2nd June 2010, Seventeen Rotarians embarked on the journey at 12.15 pm sharp in a bus from Movenpick Hotel's car park to visit our "Feed the Children Programme" at the two schools, Amani and Buza. Both the schools are next to each other and located in Temeke District on the Tandika-Buza Road. On the way to the schools, we had delicious sandwiches from Subway and Samosas while enjoying fellowship with each other. At the Schools we were met by the Director of the "Feed the Children Programme", Mr. David Smith, Project Coordinator Mr Mathew, the Chairman of the School, the Principal and teachers who greeted us very warmly and gave us the tour of the two schools which are located in a predominantly poor area. Our Club had provided US $ 3,000 to "Feed the Children Programme" and our visit to the two schools was to see first hand, the impact of the utilisation of funds on the community, particularly the children. Funds provided by our Club were used for the following purposes: • Rehabilitation of bore well and water pump • Two Kitchens at both the schools The total number of students at both these schools are approximately 6000 who have benefited from this programme. Indeed it was very touching to experience first hand the benefit to the Children and truly satisfying to note that through this donation we could make a difference in these children's lives by providing them with clean drinking water and food with good nutritional value. I would like to say "Asante Sana" to Rtn Moustafa Khataw for providing us with a brand new minibus and Rtn Sharmila for arranging subway sandwiches and all the Rotarians who attended the project visit by taking time off from their busy schedule. our journey ended at 2.30 p. at Movenpick car park.
