Literacy Project - Global Grant School Libraries Score with a Global Grant Global Grant #1527314 was recently awarded by The Rotary Foundation to the The Rotary Club of Waterfront for their School Libraries Development Project. The process for securing the above Global Grant (GG) started in 2014. During 2015 this complex process continued requiring considerable work from five RC Waterfront Members. We battled to garner sufficient support from Rotary Clubs, companies and individuals to cover the minimum seed fund of US$ 15 000, and to gather the available District Designated Funds (DDF) contributions. Each funding source required official authorization, and many corrections and updates were necessary. On 6 June 2015 the GG Application was submitted to The Rotary Foundation (TRF). However a further delay ensued when TRF insisted on copies of signed MOU's from all the projectâs ten schools, plus a written endorsement from the Western Cape Education Department which took 2 months to procure. On 1 September 2015 the GG Application was finally approved by TRF for US$ 57 429. The final contributing Clubs were: Waterfront Rotary Club, Sunrise Rotary Club of Alturas, New Brunswick Rotary Club, New Jersey Rotary Club and Etobicoke Rotary Club. But before the grant payment could be made it was necessary to :- (i) Arrange the Project Bank Account (ii) Get authorization of the GG legal document, and (iii) Confirm the cash contribution. This also proved to be a slow process. The Global Grant funds were finally received by RC Waterfront in March 2016 allowing the Project to commence.Read the full article

Community Project - RC Luderitz Making Playtime Safer in Lüderitz The Lüderitz Rotary Club has upgraded the Nautilus playground at a cost of N$230 000. During the recent inauguration of the Nautilus playground President of the Lüderitz Rotary Club Maritz Morgan said this is the eighth playground renovated by the Rotary Club at Lüderitz. Morgan said this particular playground was established by means of a partnership between Rotary Club Bocholt, Lüderitz Town Council and the Rotary Club of Lüderitz. She said they are focusing on the wellbeing of the youth by building playgrounds, with the aim of keeping children off the streets and away from drug abuse and violence and to create a safe environment, where children can play together. The Rotary Club of Lüderitz will open two other playgrounds, one of which will be in Aus, as the owners of Klein Aus Vista indicated their willingness to help with the upkeep and maintenance of the playgrounds. The other will be set up at NHE location in Lüderitz. Morgan said they unfortunately still have difficulties regarding the playground in the NHE area, as the erf allocated was not suitable and they are waiting on Lüderitz Town Council to identify an alternative erf, or to assist with other options. At the same occasion Deputy Mayor Brigitte Fredrick applauded the Lüderitz Rotary Club for setting up and upgrading the playgrounds in different locations and at primary schools. Fredrick said playgrounds have a very vital role in every community, as places where children can play safely and make friends. A playground is also a place where children keep busy with play, rather than engaging in counter-productive activities. She said the revamped playground would help create an atmosphere of playing together without discrimination and cultivate the spirit of togetherness, known in Africa as âUbuntuâ.

District Data Project From Information to Inspiration Rotarians are often so focused on the work we do that we fail to spend time to reflect upon and share our achievements. Our District PI Team therefore decided to share our good news with a series of infographics and stories of our projects. To do so, we have launched our #infotoinspo campaign or, more formally, the Information to Inspiration Campaign. (The first two graphics in the series appear herewith.) The District Data Project provided the tool to collate project activity so that a meaningful review of Rotary's work can be shared not just with Rotarians but with our many partners; from Government to non-profit and individuals to corporates. The numbers we've gathered make great reading. Follow the daily posts at www.facebook.com/RotaryD9350/ and please do get Rotarians in your Club to 'like' the page. If they are long-time fans please them to check that they've 'followed'. Then please 'share', widely, and let's put a big shout-out to celebrate Rotary's Birthday month.Read the full article

Interact Project 01 INTERACTORS SPRUCE UP A PROJECT BUILDING The Bellville Rotaract & Northern Suburbs Interact groups enjoyed a Rotary Youth Camp in Glencairn. The Rotaract Club of Bellville recently organised a Youth Camp for members of the Northern Suburbs Interact Clubs. The camp included a number of workshops on topics such as communication and a highlight was the weekend's project which involved a big paint job! One of their activities was to paint the old VDP Open Door building and do murals inside the building to brighten it. The centre will be used for counselling services for abused and traumatised - predominantly women and children in the community. What a fantastic job they did!! The staff and the VDP Board members are thrilled. It is wonderful to see Rotary working in co - ordination and together achieving this magic. Sincere thanks to the Interactors, Rotaractors and Rotarians who made this possible. :)Read the full article
