Our Speaker Today:
Darlyn Fried, Haitian Project for the Okeechobee Rotary
Darlyn is currently with the Okeechobee Rotary Club and their club was awarded two grants to build two schools in two different regions in Haiti. In addition, they will be drilling 150 clean water wells. The schools will be located in the Fifth District and in the mountains to improve the quality of education and conditions for the students. The Club had planned this initiative prior to the earthquake, and after the disaster, they wrote additional grants to help in a greater capacity.
For $34.00 a month, you can sponsor a child, and that includes food, school, supplies and medical assistance. They would like to partner with our club or would happily accept any individual donations to improve the lives of the children of Haiti.
Victor, who is the Founder and Director of one of the orphanages, also spoke to us. He grew up in the area and described his experiences and their need for our help.
Visit www.okeechobeerotary.org for club contact information.
