President Elect Dr. Todd Nitkin talked about Inspire Ethiopia, the Inspiration School Project of Ethiopia. The purpose is to build a complete, fully sustainable school system in the rural village of Wadeye, where presently no adequate school exists.   It starts with the transformation of the primary school, complete with suitable infrastructure including classrooms, desks and chairs, teaching materials, a science center, a library, access to water and sanitation, and a playground.  Instructors will be fully certified, and they will be supplied by the government upon certification of the school.  Two Village Committees have already been formed, one in Wadeye and one in Addis, and a Parent Teacher Association to ensure the teachers receive continuing education and the school system continues to operate at a high level of competency.   Please visit InspireEthiopia.org for more information and join Todd in transforming Ethiopia, one new student at a time!

We now have a page which serves as a launching point to our club’s Foundation.  Check it out at http://pbrotary.org/Page/our-foundation.  You can get to it in three ways from our home page (www.pbrotary.org) : Look for “Foundation” located on the banner or under the menu choices “About Us” or “Services/Projects”. Besides evolving content and links to internal and external resources, on that page we can now accept online donations for everything we do.
