Project information and contacts for 2008-09
Clubs may consider debating the proportion of funds for International Vs Local/National causes. For example, it could be 50:50 over the years. Remember to take advantage of Rotary Foundation Matching Grants to enhance the value of Club's contribution. Clubs have a great deal of choice in projects ... rather bewildering if you are starting from scratch. It is a question of balance of priorities. There are suggestions of themes from RI, RIBI, RIBI Project Library, projects from other clubs in the District, Club President or Club International chairman's favourite etc in addition to clubs own on-going interests in particular projects. At the RI (Rotary International) level, President DK Lee's thrust for 2008-09 is concerned with Polio Plus, and the same issues as last year - Literacy; Water Management; Health and Hunger; Family of Rotary. He asks Rotarians everywhere to focus on the most precious resource of every community: our children. At the RIBI (National) level ....The RIBI President for 2008-09, Ian Thomson, would like us to support a project called 'School 4 All in Africa'. Over 90% of disabled children in Africa do not go to school. RIBI's joint commitment with Leonard Cheshire Disability can help change this. The target is to help 1,000 disabled children in Uganda to get to local mainstream schools. Project details were distributed at the Dist. Assembly for each Club.

Across the District, there are Clubs continuing to seek contribution to their novel initiatives - such as 'Make Blindness History' (Stevenage Club) or Playpump (Hatfield).
RIBI Project library: Details are listed below - with easy access to Project sheets, websites, e-mail addresses and District Committee member for contacts in just one table.
