The Joint Venture Background

The Project Plan and Proposal
• Bruce lead the charge to get Lombok to do the plan, budget and financial controls for presentation and approval by our funding committee.
Success!• . Our Club and a private donor
provided $US10,000 to make the JV possible
• I was asked to be part of this project because of my long term association with Indonesia
• Bruce is the leader. He is telling me pick up the shovel and get busy
The Lombok Team was driven by
• The President of the Club, a wonderful Indonesian lady
• A Canadian Drilling Engineer• A retired British water and sanitation
engineer• An American who owns the local
newspaper • The support group of at least 8 other
dedicated Rotary Members
The Lombok Rotary Team
RESULTS• One hundred Bio Filters were constructed tested
and 97 put into homes and the school • The president and her helpers got the local
health nurses to visit and talk to the Lurah and his people on how to use the filters and improve sanitation.
• Special Wall hang-ups were printed to show the basics of “How To”
• CASWT/ROTARY T Shirts worn By Volunteers to identify with the project
• The filters are in place and being used
Lets Look AT SOME PICTURES
• The following are pictures taken in Mid February through until October
• The filters and related promotion to the Villagers cost less than budgeted. The left over funds about $3,000 were used To:
• Buy Desks for the children in primary School( they had been sitting on the cement floor)
• A desk, books and black board for the Teacher. Village could pay him a stipend +/- $30 per month but had no capital funds
• Construct a proper Latrine at the school . Just now completed
• We got a lot of mileage for our $10,000
