We have decided to host a District wide Zoom meeting on September 20th at 11:00 AM (PDT) with a delegation of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Kharkiv in Ukraine. One of their problems is protecting the children of the community from being injured or killed by land mines. They need assistance with signs to warn people of the areas where land mines have been placed.
This will be an opportunity to hear firsthand about the challenges they face. Yulia Pavichenko, their Club President, will provide a description of their situation. Their city is under frequent missile attack. Their challenges are staggering. There will be an opportunity to provide support at that meeting.

September is Basic Education and Literacy Month
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population.
Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.
The Rotary Foundation supports education through scholarships, donations, and service projects around the world.
"When you teach somebody how to read, they have that for a lifetime. It ripples through the community, one by one."Mark Wilson, Rotary Club member
