10/31/08: PROJECT KENYA: A PREPARED PLACE: Years of drought have made the Ukambani region of Kenya one of the most arid places in the world. The indigenous people of the Ukambani region struggle to survive against momentous challenges. Many of the people gravitate to the capital city of Nairobi, which faces its own humanitarian crisis. Hundreds of thousands of children, orphaned by a fierce and unrelenting AIDS epidemic, roam wild in the streets. Lacking education, socialization, and proper nutrition, they are dehumanized, fighting for food just to survive. Orphanages are overwhelmed, and cannot provide the necessary care to change the lives of these endangered young people. Project Kenya: A Prepared Place proposes a unified solution to these problems. Rather than providing one-time humanitarian aid in the Ukambani region, or building more orphanages in Nairobi, A Prepared Place seeks to produce sustainable renewal in the Ukambani region, creating structured, self-reliant communities. Once established, A Prepared Place proposes using these communities as a resource for placing orphaned street children from Nairobi. The West Chester (PA) Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Nairobi South Kenya has been awarded a special Rotary Foundation 3-H grant. They need to raise $40,000 by the end of October and we are half way there. We are hoping you will help us close the gap enabling this project to leverage the 7 to 1 match offered by the Rotary Foundation. That would give us enough money to get 500 at-risk street orphans off the street and into Ukambani homes. You can read more about this special project at: www.westchesterrotary.us/A%20Prepared%20Place.shtml, or email clyddane@thewalterscompany.com

11/8/08: ROTARY DAY AT THE UNITED NATIONS: Rotary and the United Nations have a special relationship since Rotary was one of the founders of the United Nations.

During the foundation of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945, forty-nine Rotarians helped to draft the United Nations Charter in and many of the international delegates from around the world were Rotarians. Rotarians will celebrate Rotary UN Day at the United Nations in New York on November 8, 2008 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 PM.
