Pictured is Rotary President Ari Larson and speaker Harlan Green, from the Montecito Rotary Club. He informed the Club about the Congo Peace School, located in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. His Club has been sponsoring this area for many years, starting with a water project and now the school. The Bukavu Mwangaza Rotary Club requested that we aid them in raising funds to furnish and equip the school to teach 522 students in 6 Elementary, 6 Secondary grades, plus 2 preschool grades. The Montecito Club has a Global Grant and will be matching up to $9,000 in donations from other District Clubs. Fillmore Rotary will be involved in this project. Photo Courtesy Martha Richardson. |
