WHY

Help raise funds and awareness for the Rotary Ugandan Hearing and Healthcare Project:

·    Currently in its 9^th year of teaching & treatment

·    Improving the hearing health of the people of Uganda

·    Teaching local clinicians the detection and treatment of ear disorders, as well as head & neck cancers

·    Implementation of a water project, instalment of computers in schools and placement of books in libraries

 

And the Rotary Quadra Lower Mainland Literacy Project:

·    Aboriginal families have some of the lowest literacy rates in the country

·    Through cooking classes, and creative craft projects, and after school programs, the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Center is helping families develop communication skills, visual literacy, and cultural literacy while improving their ability to read and write

·    Funding from Bid for Books III and support from Rotary Quadra Lower Mainland Literacy Projectwill ensure that these programs continue and expand and support literacy development

 

Providing the opportunity to learn and be healthy enables a person to have a positive future where they can create a strong & thriving community.
