Earthquake Disaster in Haiti
Fellow Rotarians.
It is my pleasure to announce that the Rotary Club of Windsor (1918) has committed to $5,000 in donations for Haiti relief. The $5,000 will be directed through the Rotary Club of Windsor Foundation Fund to Shelterbox Canada. The Rotary Club of Windsor Foundation Fund has committed to matching the donations of individual Rotarians to a maximum of $5,000. The assignment of that $5,000 is pending a meeting and resolution by the Board of the Rotary Club of Windsor Foundation Fund which is scheduled for next week.
Cheques should be made payable to the Rotary Club of Windsor Foundation Fund.
I suggest the following:
If you haven't paid your dues, contact Brenda by email or phone and add a donation amount along with your credit card info.
If you have paid your dues or want to pay by cheque, contact Brenda with your pledge amount and either drop off you cheque at the Rotary office or bring it in on Monday
Let your friends and family know that this is one way that they can help the Haitians.
The Shelterbox program was started by a Rotary Club in England. There is an affiliate- Shelterbox Canada.
The Shelterbox Canada project was founded within the Rotary Club of Ladysmith, British Columbia, and is promoted and administered by Rotarians from across Canada.
President Bill advised Don Ohlgren of ShelterBox Canada this morning that our club had pledged $5,000 to be directed to ShelterBox Canada and that our Foundation Fund had voted to match those funds although the designation of those additional funds had not been voted on yet.
The following is Don's feedback.
Thursday, January 21, 2010 10:36AM
"Absolutely astounding - Thanks Bill for working with your club to help us out right at this critical time. We are over 400 boxes from Canada so far and looking to get to 1000. Your part will certainly help a lot."
Shelter Boxes arriving in Haiti
This disaster has struck the poorest of the poor.
The UN estimates that 200,000 families - up to one million people - are in need of immediate shelter in Haiti.
The UN have also described this as the worst disaster they’ve ever had to deal with.
Let's do what we can.
FYI - as of Monday, February 1st, Club members have donated $3,584.50 and non-Club members $2,725 (2 people each gave $1,000).
Regards,
Bill MacArthur
President
Rotary Club of Windsor (1918)

Local Rotarians Help Build Afghanistan School
Windsor, ON. Members of Rotary International in the Windsor/Essex region have joined together to aid in the building of a twenty-room schoolhouse in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
This is part of a legacy project that includes all Canadian Rotarians. It was designed to help us to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Rotary in Canada in 2010, says District Governor, Neil McBeth. He adds, "when Rotary was approached by CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency), to participate in an educational project to assist primarily women, we contacted the Ministry of Education in Afghanistan and asked "what is your greatest need". They have asked us to build a school that would meet the needs of 4,000 students (two thirds girls) who are currently studying in a largely open area, with palm trees providing the only shelter. The students would attend classes in three shifts. This is being done as part of the Canadian Federal Government's Afghanistan Challenge Program and as such they will provide 50% of the construction costs.
Estimated cost of the school is US$ 350,000.00. This includes furniture, fixtures, computers etc. which will be largely funded by a matching grant from the Rotary Foundation. Individual Rotarians will raise the remainder of the funds (approximately $250 per Rotary Club).
Recent statistics indicate that 87% of Afghan women are illiterate, 63% of Afghan children between the ages of 6 and 13 remain out of school. However, it is reported that since 2001, school projects have brought new life to general, technical, and vocational education, particularly benefiting girls, and the country is currently experiencing the highest enrolment in the history of Afghanistan. There is evidence in other countries, in particular, Bangladesh, that once women are educated there is a virtual spiral of development, jobs, lower birth rates, education, and stability."
McBeth adds, "when completed, this school will be a beacon of literacy in one of the most poorly developed countries in the world. What greater legacy can we leave as we celebrate 100 years of Rotary in Canada".
Rotary is one of the largest and most influential international humanitarian service organizations in the world. Rotary’s 1.2 million members worldwide belong to more than 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
