HOPE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY From our commencement more than 4 decades ago HOPE International Development Agency’s intent has been to transform the world by helping one person, one family, one community at a time. HOPE’s core objective is to do our work in a manner that focuses on the self-expressed needs of neglected individuals, families, and communities subject to abject poverty in the developing world. Having good intentions when presented with the issues is not enough. Lasting transformation becomes possible when the conviction of our belief – that the poorest of the poor must have the opportunity to become self-reliant through their own efforts – is fueled by a steadfast commitment to be a key component of this transformation. In 2016 HOPE supported projects in 20+ countries in the Americas, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa through offices in the USA, the UK, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canada. www.hope-international.com CLIFFERD DICK – President, HOPE International Development Agency USA Clifferd met one of the HOPE founders in the Acropole Hotel in Khartoum (Sudan) in the 1980s, and has been associated with HOPE and it’s work to extend compassion to the neglected poor in the developing world since then. He has lived and worked in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nepal and Cambodia. In his work with HOPE he has managed and visited projects in most of the 20-30 countries where HOPE annually works. Undergraduate education in the USA and Canada. Graduate degree in International Policy from the University of Bristol (UK). MICHELLE WAITE Michelle’s goal in life is to be the most effective purpose-driven, creative collaborator and connector in the world. After a 5 year stint working and living in Singapore, she returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. A successful veteran in B2B international business development and marketing leadership, she has more recently reinvented herself as an impact investor, social entrepreneur and marketing exec in tech. A strong believer in the Conscious Capitalism movement, she advocates for business doing good while doing well. Michelle has volunteered with HOPE in Asia and the USA, helping coordinate events, and has also visited development projects in Cambodia and the Philippines. |

Presentation to the City Council of our club's $100,000 check. The gift supported the development of the Rotary Bridge in the Downtown Creek Park is a 30-foot pedestrian footbridge over Little Llagas Creek is located between 2nd and 3rd streets in the Downtown Creek Park. The bridge will ease access for people coming from the west side of Monterey Road. In addition, our gift paid for the Rotary Slide in the Nob Hill Trail Park is a long green slide, in two segments, sits in a woodland area atop Nob Hill, with access off 3rd St. and 5th St. The slide is on the hill in front of the prominent green water tank facing the downtown. The feature has two sections, with the 21-foot upper segment giving a gentler ride and the lower 35-foot lower segment offering more excitement. Landings for both slides will also serve as observation platforms to enjoy high, Eastern views of the city. The slides, landing and connecting service trails were not included in the base park project budget, thus the Rotary contribution ensured inclusion in the park. |

Ray Piontek (and Central High School Interact Club Bake Sale Fundraiser!!!)
Nov 15, 2017
Our guest speaker for November 15 will be Ray Piontek, founder of the Bay Area Furniture Bank. Ray will discuss his unique program to match a family in need with another entity’s surplus furniture. After a successful military and business career, Ray launched BAFB which is now starting its second year of operation. In its first year of actual operations (ending in September) Ray personally delivered 215 sets of furniture to people in need. Recipients included homeless veterans, military personnel transitioning to civilian life, foster children, flood victims, victims of domestic violence, refugees, and more. Ray only works with referring agencies and church groups to locate his recipients and to ensure they are recognized as deserving. Ray’s unique approach makes it affordable for both the recipients and the donors and tremendously reduces the amount of wasted furnishings going to landfill. We think you will be wow’d with all that Bay Area Furniture Bank and Ray have accomplished in Year One and their goals for going forward. |

The Prosecution and Conviction of Antolin Garcia-Torres for the Kidnap and Murder of Sierra LaMar
Dec 13, 2017
Sierra Mae LaMar was last seen at approximately 6:00 a.m. on March 16, 2012, in the area of Santa Teresa Avenue and Dougherty Avenue in Morgan Hill, California. At that time, Ms. LaMar, who was a 15 year old student at Ann Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill, was preparing to leave her home on foot on her way to catch the bus to school. Sierra never made it to the bus or school that morning and has not been heard from since that time. Despite her body not being found, Antolin Garcia-Torres was arrested and charged with the kidnap and murder of Sierra LaMar. Mr. Garcia-Torres was also charged with trying to kidnap three women in the parking lots of two Morgan Hill Safeway stores in three separate incidents dating back to 2009. On May 9, 2017, Antolin Garcia-Torres was convicted on all four counts. Although the prosecution requested the death penalty in this case, on June 5, 2017, the same jury that convicted Mr. Garcia-Torres recommended that he be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. |

Mattie Scariot, Festival Director
Mar 07, 2018
On March 7th, Mattie Scariot will provide a preview of the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival, coming to downtown Morgan Hill and Gilroy, April 5th through the 8th, 2018. The four-day event is South County's first and only regional film festival. It's a celebration of one of the hottest areas in the arts today - film and digital media.
Mattie and her husband own 152 WEST, a local film production company with extensive corporate, nonprofit and entertainment productions to its credit. She inherited the role of Festival Director last year from founder Bill Leaman, who recognized it was time to revitalize the event. He saw Mattie as the perfect person for the job because of her professional and nonprofit experience and her passion for filmmaking and supporting talented emerging artists.
In less than a year, Mattie has recruited a new team, rebranded the festival, and not only added new venues but new programs that allow community members to connect with the filmmaking experience. While most people love to go to the movies, they often assume film festivals are only for film students or professionals. Mattie and her team want to change all that. With community support and engagement, they aim to grow Poppy Jasper into a popular tradition that supports South County arts and tourism for years to come.
