| On Wednesday, Howard will be updating us about our International Project – the Kitende Preschool in Tanzania. There is a detailed report in the Bulletin. We have made great progress with the project to an almost successful commencement. We are very close to turning what was initially an idea from Deborah into reality. Do you remember her presentation to us, and showing the extreme living conditions these little children and their families had to endure, yet all had a lovely smile and a kind of contentment with life despite the hardship they endure? Terry has been canvassing other clubs in our area for support and we expect responses soon. Howard has been seeking persons to become Class Sponsors to the project by making a donation of $310 each year for two years. At present we have 16 sponsorships including 4 from our club members. He also has found a benefactor – who wishes to remain anonymous – who has offered to match on a “dollar for dollar” basis the amount committed by 10 of our club members for the two year period. This is an extremely generous offer which will bring us to success with sufficient offers from another 6 of our members. If you feel you are able to donate $310 each year for two years to this project , please contact Howard. |
