The Rotary Foundation offers multiple types of grants to serve the wide variety of projects that Rotarians are doing around the world. Explore the different grant types to find which one is right for your activity. You will soon have the opportunity to learn your way around these with the upcoming Future Vision Training in Colesberg.

DDiissttrriicctt ggrraannttss

District grants fund smaller, short-term activities that address needs in both your local community and communities worldwide. Each district gets to choose which projects it will fund with these grants.

GGlloobbaall ggrraannttss

Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in one or more of the six areas of focus. The Rotary Foundation accepts global grant applications on a rolling basis throughout the year.

PPaacckkaaggeedd ggrraannttss

Packaged grants have been predesigned by Rotary and our strategic partners. The activities they fund are similar to those funded by global grants, but the work of designing the activity’s general framework has already been done.

THIS WEEK’S

BRAIN TEASER

Only a cad would ask a lady how old she is. However, to satisfy your morbid

curiosity, I'll give you a hint: I come from a very large family. Five years ago, I

was five times as old as my youngest sister. Today I'm only three times as old as

she is. That's all the information you're going to get from me. And, knowing

your prowess in mathematics, I'm sure my secret will remain closely guarded." Answer on last page

BIG PLANS are under way for the expansion of the Rotary Family Health Day which will be held May 9 - 11, 2013. This Rotary-led event is entering its third year and provides many free health care services to the citizens of three countries, at a total of 400 sites, across the nations of Uganda (120 sites), Nigeria/Lagos (100 sites) and South Africa (180 sites). Rotary Districts involved are 9400, 9350, 9320, 9270, 9200 and 9110 (365 Rotary Clubs in all).

Rotarians For Family Health &AIDS Prevention, a Rotarian Action Group, obtains and manages the multiple partners that are involved in this interdependent partnership program model. The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation (a Primary Partner) provides mobilization and management costs; the CDC and USAID provide support through the NGOs they fund; at least 100 NGOs will be providing the medical/technical services at the event; Delta Airlines provides complimentary tickets and funding; and each Country Government Ministry of Health is also critical to success. In the case of South Africa, the S.A. Department of Health is supporting all the staffing and medical support at all 180 sites!

It is expected that we will reach approximately 200,000 people during this weekend with HIV Testing/Counseling; Polio immunization and Measles Vaccine; TB and Malaria Screens; Diabetes and Blood Pressure Testing; Cervical Cancer screen; Male circumcision, Dental, and others. Rotarians expect to attract new members to their Clubs by holding this event because it is large scale and high profile.

Klerksdorp Rotary Club Meeting Report – 31 January 2013

By Piet Lombaard

President Nico opened the business meeting and called on Rein Lourens to unfurl the flag and say Grace. All those who celebrated birthdays and anniversaries during the past week were congratulated.

President Nico verwelkom al die lede sowel as AG Wally en Arlene Jacobs en die gaste van Jaco Stander:- Gerhard en Janette Ackerman, Christopher en Brigette Stander; Margie Constantinidis:- Wanda Strauss, Alfredo en Noni Pesce, Raymond Eidelman, Karl en Renee Pederson, Nimrod en Judy Daly; Piet Lombaard:- Ansie Heyneke en Andre van Zijl.

AG Wally oorhanding twee sertifikate aan PP Margie. Die eerste sertifikaat is ‘n Rotary International “Change Maker Award” vir die jaar 2011/2012. Die tweede toekenning is die “District Governor Citation” vir die Klub se bydrae tot die Polio Fonds.

President Nico kondig die maand se aktiwiteite aan soos in die Bulletin Kalender uiteengesit en deel die klub mee dat die 250 Usborne woordeboeke uiteindelik gearriveer het.

Andre Van Zijl, die langslewende HIV positief persoon, vertel van sy fondsinsameling projekte. Hy ry per fiets van dorp na dorp om geld in te samel vir die “Global AIDS Prevention” fonds. Andre is reeds in 1984 as HIV positief gediagnoseer en het geweier om dit as ‘n doodsvonnis te aanvaar. Sedert 16 Desember 2011 het hy meer as R2 miljoen ingesamel en beoog om hierdie jaar die bedrag te verbeter. Hy motiveer die talle fietsryers in ons klub om asseblief veilig te ry. Andre is ook die houer van 39 wêreld rekords. Hy is baie gemotiveerd en het met die woorde “Life live always in full” afgesluit.

Sersant Martin Joubert beboet al die Rotatiërs en vorder so fondse in.

Ons hoofsprekers vir die aand is Jaco en Clifton wat die groep van 22 mense verteenwoordig o.a. Clifton & Alma, Jaco & Lisa, Margie & Lynn, Jan & Sandy, wat pas terug gekeer het vanaf ‘n toer deur Sub-Sahara Afrika. Hulle reis vir 39 dae met nege voeruie deur Botswana, Zambie, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Malawi en Zimbabwe. Jaco deel hulle wedervaringe van die afgelope 5 weke en gee ‘n paar interessante statistieke:

• Totale afstand afgelê 11,069km

• Diesel verbruik deur Jaco se voertuig 1,411 liter.

• Gemiddelde tyd om deur grens poste te beweeg 4 tot 5 ure,

• Hoogste punt bo seevlak 2,450 meter,

• Langste afstand in een dag afgelê 424km,

• Liters bier verbruik onbekend!!!

Jaco en Clifton deel hulle asemrowende fotos met ons waarna President Nico hulle bedank. Die wyntrekking word gewen deur Casper Minnaar. Die vergadering word afgesluit deur Rein Lourens met vierledige toets.

Rotary International at the World Economic Forum

RI General Secretary John Hewko recently had the privilege of representing Rotary International at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Every year, the economic forum brings together in Davos several thousand of the world’s leading figures from the private sector, government, and academia. The forum also invites a select group of 40 non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Following the concerted efforts of senior Rotary leaders, Rotary has been fortunate to be chosen as one of those NGO invitees.

The four-day event involved a non-stop program of meetings, receptions, and networking opportunities, which represented an incredible opportunity to introduce Rotary to a very select audience. In all, I was able to have a substantive conversation with almost 120 individuals about Rotary and our efforts to eradicate polio. In addition, because of my prior US government experience with the Millennium Challenge Corporation, I was asked to participate in a number of discussion sessions dealing with international development and health issues. This afforded a further opportunity to showcase the work of Rotary and the polio eradication effort.

For more than two decades, Rotary has been taking the lead in the global effort to eradicate polio. We are This Close to finishing the job. To have Rotary be a part of such a collection of distinguished world leaders at the economic forum further underscored that Rotary is a major player on the international stage.

This of course could not have happened without the commitment and dedication of the 1.2 million Rotary members worldwide – men and women who have worked so long to bring us to the threshold of our ultimate goal: a polio-free world.
