Heard yesterday from A.P. Singh (photo left) in our twin club in Chandigarh, Punjab INDIA. The RI Foundation (India) now has
all the funds for the school water filter project. The Chandigarh
Rotary Club is awaiting distribution from RI INDIA to start the
project, which is expected to take 3 months to complete. from
start to end.
$10,000 will supply 92 schools with drinking water filtering equipment purchased locally in India and installed in schools in poor areas where drinking water quality is considered unhealthy.
The Rotary Club of Coral Gables contributed $4,100 to this project from contributions by club members, the Rick and Margarita Tonkinson Foundation and our Charitable Fund. This is a DDF (District Designated Funds) project, not an RI Matching Grant.
