Our annual campaign for the children in El Salvador is now underway. We are presently supporting 310 children to attend school. This is through a combination of individual donors, Rotary clubs and matching grants. Many members of our club are helping El Salvador children to attend school; others have helped through participating in a matching grant, helping with the Spaghetti Dinner fund raiser or assisting with the fund raising. Just a reminder that your donation of $250 pays for uniforms, food, health care and school supplies. The photos gives some idea of the impact our help is having in El Salvador.
Right now, the country is dealing with torrential rains and excessive flooding. Our colleague, Lynne Ternosky is in the country right now and is reporting a lot of devastation, yet incredible resilience and fortitude by the people as they deal with this latest disaster. Classes continue! Please help by making a donation to the 2011 El Salvador Pathways to Literacy Campaign, and help keep a child in school.
Yours in Rotary,
Jane Kirkpatrick, Secretary
Festival City Rotary Club (Stratford) Foundation
