ROTARY CANADA CENTENNIAL PROJECT
On November 3, 1910 the first Rotary club meeting in Canada was held in Winnipeg. Today is a great day to celebrate Canada's Rotary Centennial project.
Representing us again was Rotarian Fary Mohini of the Rotary Club of La Jolla Golden Triangle. Fary was in Jalalabad to among other things, inspect our school and make recommendations to upgrading the lavatories, install a drinking system for the students, obtain quotes to install a playing field, and convert a room into a nursery to attract more female teachers. The Dedication was attended by a number of government and school officials, many respected elders, and local Rotarians. The ceremony had considerable local media coverage.
The photo is of the school a few days before the dedication. Incidentally the colour was that chosen by the Nangarhar Department of Education.
While funding for the project is complete, any funds received past the project completion date are being targeted towards improving the school. We just passed $290,000.00. THANK YOU!
