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.
For additional information or to make a contribution you can contact District Governor (District 6400), Neil McBeth at nmcbeth@sympatico.ca or 519-776-5905 or 519-990-5905.

The facility will provide nine new beds for children and teens experiencing mental health crises, and will offer expanded services to families. Because it is difficult for parents to leave their kids, especially little kids who are seven or eight, the new home will provide enough space for visiting parents who wish to stay overnight with their children

"The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people regardless of nationality desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding."
We need homes for our Rotary 1918 incoming Exchange Students.
Talk to Janet Kelly if you or a person you know could host a student for a period of time.
