Wishing all Rotarians, Rotaractors and friends of Rotarians a prosperous 2010. Shall we take a moment together as a club and look back at 2009 and celebrate our contribution to the community and towards building fellowship in our club and perhaps reflect and see if we did what we are here for ? To the community we presented a fully equipped mobile vehicle for testing hearing through the Hark Project. At the Induction night of President Sujata the club raised 16M tshs towards local projects and from these funds we currently run local projects like the Tukolene Youth project and feed the children porridge programme in a primary school. We donated an ambulance to the ocean road hospital and run five matching grant projects and help the community via the Haraka project, provide school uniform and stationery to school children through the Moravian church project, distributed a few hundred books from our stock called Mahali Pasipo Na Daktari, and helped with surgeries for disabled children with CCBRT. We will be soon starting the Nuru project in running a hospice for aids patients.
As members we visited the CCBRT hospital to see our contribution for the Jaipur project. We held two joint meetings with Bahari and Mzizima club. We inducted two new energetic members Nikki and Zainul and started the Rotaractor club of Learnit. In the Month of September along with five other clubs and Rotaractors we held the charity walk to plant for the planet and raised 90M Tshs. Planting of trees will now start as we have received applications for trees from schools and one organization we still need many more applications. We had many social evenings – the pot luck at Sujata, an evening with our Rotaractors at New Africa Hotel and Christmas party at Karins. We had a few interesting and some not so interesting speakers. We have had regular board meetings and our accounts is just getting in place. I am sure we have done many many things which perhaps you want to add to this list. So all said and done – what do we say – a GREAT ROTARY YEAR for all of us. So let us not rest and shall we together make year 2010 eventful as well.
