Were back
Arrived back in Manchester this evening rather tired but really happy we took this wonderful opportunity to se Polio Eradication in Action and to see what Rotarians in another continent are doing to help their communities.
We have a number of potential projects to discuss with colleagues in District 1190 but can report that the team have already contributed some funds to the Blind School we visited in Tumkur and have funded 3 water filters for a school in Bangalore.
Other ideas we have identified include funding for exercise books for deprived children and support for District 3190 initiative to set up schools for Autistic or children with learning difficulties.
We may be able to discuss these directly later in the year as the DGE did say he would arrange a reciprocal visit during his 2010/11 year.
Watch this space for further developments and our own personal reflections.
If you want to hear more about the trip members of the team will be only be to pleased to come along and share their experiences. Just leave a request in the comment box.

Dear Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI'm from BBC Radio Cumbria. I run a feature on the Ian Timms Show called Little Cumbria...
Each week I ask three different people to keep a dairy for five consecutive days, to tell the story of their lives.
Each diary entry needs to be 130 words, which is roughly 45 seconds in length.
Once the diary is written, we then arrange a time to record it... And then I mix the three different diaries together with a narrator and theme music, and make a mini Cumbrian soap.
It runs Monday to Friday at 1745, and is now entering it's 35th week.
It's a bit of fun, and works really well, and for it to last I want to keep bringing new voices to the feature.
I search local blogs because it is a great place to find people who enjoy being in the spotlight.
Would you willing to have a bash?
Here are my contact details... I look forward to hearing from you,
Also I have added an example on youtube so you can hear how it sounds… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iDl1_ZxHuU
