Greetings and
best wishes to you.
Dist 3150 and Dist 1220 have joined Hands
together in a remarkable and outstanding project. Rotarian
Terry Leivers and his wife DGN Val were determined to provide
safe quality drinking water to more than 20000 people. They
motivated 37 clubs of Dist 1220 and 24 individual donors to come
forward and provide 33% of the project cost.
Rotary Dist 3150 with 27 participating clubs joined hands in
providing 20% of the project cost and conceived the project.
The project took TWO YEARS from conception to completion.
More than 160 villages spanning eight revenue districts covering
an area of more than one lac kilometres were identified for
providing bore wells. Rotary leaders
travelled more than 3000 kilometres to inaugurate the hand
wells. More than 350 Rotarians
participated in the project. The dedication exhibited by
Rotarians of Dist 3150 is exemplary. They have identified the
various places, monitored the implementation of the Hand Wells,
and again went back to inaugurate the wells
ceremoniously. Terry visited Dist
3150 as a GSE Team leader and undertook this project. A real
testimony to the International Friendship and relations of
Rotary. This project show cases the MAGIC OF ROTARY.
We enclose herewith the brochure/invitation for the inauguration
of these Hand Wells.
