Dhulikhel Rotary Club Meeting

Yesterday was the weekly Dhulikhel Rotary Club meeting.  It was a special meeting with many grants and donations given out to different organisations and groups working in the local community, and many guests present.  The majority of the funds have been raised through matching grants with overseas Rotary Clubs.  We have had the opportunity to visit all of these projects since our arrival here.  It is great to know where and how these funds will be used.  We can clearly see that these matching grants are helping to make a big difference to the lives of the people of Nepal. 
NRs 100,000 donated by Dhulikhel Rotary Club to Reiyukai Eiko Masunaga Eye Hospital, Banepa

NRs 230,000 donated to HASERA Organic Farm, Patlekhet Villlage
(Matching grant from RC Westhampton, USA)

NRs 50,000 donated to Baluwa Primary School for toilet block construction (matching grant from
RC Papamoa, Tauranga Te Papa and Matamata, New Zealand)

Nrs 200,000 was donated to Dhulikhel Hospital (matching grant from RC Westhampton, USA) to fund reproductive healthcare.  NRs 5,000 was also donated to the Rotoract Club of Rudramati, this is to go towards re-building a house that was burnt down.  RC Dhulikhel has previously donated NRs 7,000 towards this project.  

We had the opportunity after the meeting to run some team-building games.  It was a lot of fun for all!!
