Stars for Our Troops- 12 people attended our pre-Veteran's Day November 10 social in Henrietta at Mission BBQ/ We prepared another 1,000 stars which were cut from retired US flags and bagged with a supportive message from Greece Rotary.
2020-2021 District Grant Project Crutches for Africa has been completed with 950 mobility devices filling a 26' delivery truck. Approximately $3,000 raised to help ship the cargo containers to Uganda and Kenya, where they will be received by helpful community members. Coordinating with the Greece Lions Club enabled a portion of devices to stay locally for our community too.
Great news about the wall at New Hope Children’s Village in Zambia - it’s complete! They did such an amazing job. We were able to contract the work out to local Zambians and employ many block masons. They were very thankful for the work and we look forward to using them again on the walls of the orphanage later this year.
We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity that Greece Rotary and Rotary international have given us to bless these children over in Zambia. We are one step closer to providing orphans with home, safety and a chance at life!
