School for Disabled Children in India (MG #21911)
This project was a collaborative effort with the Rotary Club of Kundapura, India.  The Vagjyothi Deaf and Dumb Disabled Welfare Society runs a residential school in the Kundapura area for approximately 100 deaf and dumb and physically disabled children.  Prior to this project, the school was ill-equipped and in desperate need of basic supplies.  This project allowed the Society to purchase hearing aids, a speech trainer, furniture as well as basic kitchen supplies and improvements to the sanitary waste system.

This was a collaborative project with the Rotary Club of Cilacap in Indonesia.  The project consisted of providing children refugees from troubled areas of Aceh, the Malukus, and East Timor School with the materials they needed to attend school.  In total, 1,000 refugee children were given bags, uniforms, books, and supplies thus permitting these children to attend school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Medical Library for Regional Hospital in Honduras (MG #18509)
Our first project with CAMO (Central American Medical Outreach) provided a medical library in the Hospital Regional de Occidente in Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras. The library includes bookshelves, furniture, computer workstations, and visual aid equipment for three classrooms and a conference room CAMO, with Rotary International support, constructed and equipped a medical library on the grounds of the (HRO). This teaching hospital was not equipped with a teaching and research space for the staff. With this addition, the classrooms, library, computer networking, and associated medical facilities, medical students have the resources to complete their training and provide better care for the patients. This addition has also resulted in the hospital being used by major international health organizations such as WHO, the CDC and USAID to further assist in meeting the needs in Central America.
