Dear State of Jefferson Rotary Members,
We are excited to participate with our young friends in Uganda using digital tools, a perfect activity for our eClub! The children in the Tandi Reading Club will gather on April 27 in Uganda. Before then, my colleague from Uganda and I invite you to record a short video using Flip, a Microsoft tool specifically for educational environments such as schools and this project. We chose it because it is relatively easy to use, but there are some tricky parts, so if you need help, please just drop me an email (remember I’m in Spain, 9 hours ahead of you, so it may take a day for me to respond).
This week, please join our Flip classroom, Uganda Reading Tent. Click here: https://flip.com/6fbbe6c3. You can also scan the QR code instead.
There you will find a video that walks you through the steps to record your message. You can find it here: https://flip.com/s/2ymmd62ey3mb
The children will respond on April 27, and we hope they will see anything you post to respond back to them. Internet can be a challenge in Uganda.

Weekly eClub "Coffee Chat" Zoom meetings
Tuesday at 12:00 PM PDT
I believe these “fellowship” meetings have been valuable. They are informal opportunities to get acquainted with our members. If it fits your schedule, I look forward to “seeing” you at the meetings.
World Immunization Week — 24-30 April — is a perfect opportunity for Rotary clubs to share the incredible progress we’ve made toward eradicating polio.

April is Maternal and Child Health Month
Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.
An estimated 5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which can be prevented.

How Rotary makes help happen
Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.
