Posted by T. Leslie Gattis on Nov 17, 2016
What a great time it is when you get to give a third grader a dictionary AND teach them how to use it.. That is just what many members of the Rotary club of Plainview did this week. In fact every third grader in Hale County will receive one from the club. Approximately 600 dictionaries in all. Rotarians were able to tell the kids about Rotary, what we do and why we do it. In fact I asked the kids at two different campuses if they have ever heard of POLIO... I am happy to report NONE of them had ever heard of the dreadful disease . We shared the Four Way Test with them and asked them to apply it to there lives. Success of the project= 600+ lives affected !!!

MOVING DOCTOR’S OFFICE RESCUES WOMEN FROM BREAST CANCER
Posted by Ted Baker on Apr 10, 2014
![]()
In Tamil Nadu, India, two doctors, both members of the Rotary Club of Srirangam, discovered an alarming trend in the remote city outskirts of Trichy, women dying of breast cancer. Drs. K. Govindaraj and K.N. Srinivasan knew that much of the death and suffering could be avoided, and both were motivated by their personal experiences with the disease. Govindaraj watched his mother die of breast cancer a decade earlier, and helped found the Dr. K. Shantha Breast Cancer Foundation in her memory. Srinivasan, an oncologist, witnessed unprecedented growth in the number of younger patients coming to his clinic with advanced stages of the disease. According to the National Cancer Registry of India, 20 to 40 women per 100,000 are suffering from breast cancer. And because many women lack the resources to travel to the city, or the$50 fee for proper screening , the doctors needed a unique approach. During a trip to South Korea, Govindaraj saw a large van outfitted with X-ray equipment parked outside a mall, and thought a moving doctor’s office and lab -- or “mammobus” -- could overcome the challenges they faced. Through a Rotary global grant, the men were able to buy and outfit their own bus. Since April 2012 the Shantha Foundation’s mammobus, supported by local Rotarians and the Rotary Club of Rockville, Maryland, USA, has administered 2,500 free breast cancer screenings. Early stage cancer has been detected and treated in six women, and thousands have been taught how to conduct regular self-exams, an important means of early detection. “Women have started feeling that they have easy access to health without compromising their day-to-day work and earnings,” Srinivasan says. “Women come out to our health workers with their health-related problems and discuss freely about various aspects of health and diseases, not just about breast cancer.’’ The mammobus cost $34,000 and is equipped with a mammography machine, an ultrasonogram, and materials that teach the method and importance of self-exams. The Shantha Foundation maintains the vehicle and reaches out to nongovernmental organizations, women’s groups, and employers to arrange visits. The bus stops anywhere a large group of women congregate, with priority given to rural areas. The Srirangam club also helps line up visits and widely promotes the bus through various media.

Pictured are (l to r) Rotarian Charles Starnes, winners Hagen Kelly and Cassandra Delgado, Rotarian Cynthia Gregory, winner Jasleili Zubia Salgado, and Associate Principal Brandt Reagan. There were 303 eligible students for this award and the three winners were randomly selected for the prize of an iPod Nano. Mr. Reagan said that attendance this year has been improved from previous years and that the Rotary Club's Perfect Attendance Project had made significant contributions to that effort. Mr. Reagan said that higher state reimbursement from better attendance is important, but that having the students in school is the greatest value of the program. |

DO-IT-YOURSELF LIBRARIES
Posted by Ted Baker on Mar 30, 2014
![]()
When the editors at Reader's Digest made a list of the "50 Surprising Reasons We Love America" for their July 2013 cover story, they placed Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi at No. 50, Bill Gates at No. 25, and at No. 11, sandwiched between sliced bread and tumbleweeds, was Little Free Library, a homespun-tribute-turned-international-phenomenon started by Rotary member Todd Bol. People in 55 countries have installed more than 16,000 Lilliputian lending libraries, run on the premise of "take a book, return a book," since Bol built his first in 2009 in memory of his mother, a teacher who loved to read. Called an "international movement" by the New York Times and a "global sensation" by the Huffington Post, the libraries have garnered coverage from media outlets including Japanese public television and French and Italian fashion magazines. Participation is simple: Mount a wooden box (many of them look like birdhouses) on a post in front of your home, workplace, or school. Fill it with books. Delight as neighbors stop by to browse your selections or leave books of their own. Bibliophiles aren't the only ones willing to trade a patch of lawn for a box of books. Bol, of Hudson, Wisconsin, calls Little Free Library "a new canvas for community groups" – such as artists in New York City, who held a competition to design the boxes; inmates at a Wisconsin prison, who are constructing them as part of vocational training and community service; and corporations, which are building them on service days to give back to their communities. Rotary and Rotaract clubs from the United States to Canada, Mauritius to Ghana, are installing the libraries in their areas too. About three-quarters of the operators build their own libraries; plans are available on the nonprofit's website, www.littlefreelibrary.org. The rest purchase readymade ones for $175 and up, depending on the model. The proceeds fund the staff, website, and educational outreach, as well as the organization's programs to build more libraries for people in need.

YOUNG LEADERS FROM INDIA, UGANDA ORGANIZE SUCCESSFUL PRESIDENTIAL CONFERENCES
Posted by Ted Baker on Mar 23, 2014
![]() Ramkumar Raju of India and Winfred Karungi of Uganda have never met, but they have a great deal in common. They're both Rotaract club members and district Rotaract representatives. They're also promising young community leaders who helped plan successful Presidential New Generations Conferences in their countries. Rotary International President Ron Burton hosted the conferences, which were held in Chennai in October and Kampala in November. (A third conference took place in Rosario, Argentina, in March.) The goal of these international conferences was to bring together young community leaders and Rotary members to share ideas for attracting new members and engaging young people. Raju, a member of the Madras Central Rotaract club, and Karungi, a member of the Kampala City club, were asked by Rotarians in their areas to be part of the conference planning committee. Both describe the experience as a great learning opportunity. "I learned decision making and communication skills, how to be a team player and handle crucial situations, and last but not least, I learned the power of Rotary," Raju says. Karungi says she also improved her relationships with Rotary members in her country and learned that "with proper planning, anything can be executed, even a task as great as organizing a conference, a service project, or a dinner for President Burton."
IMPROVING THEIR COMMUNITIESEach conference included a community service component. Rotaractors in India chose projects that focused on education and disease prevention. They collected thousands of donated books, which will be used to establish libraries in rural areas. They also collected more than 300 units of blood, held a rubella awareness camp hosted by a panel of local doctors, and offered free vaccinations. In Uganda, Rotaract members also focused their efforts on fighting preventable diseases and promoting child and maternal health. Working alongside community leaders, they organized a hand washing campaign and classes on soap making, distributed mosquito nets to children and expectant mothers, held blood drives, and offered cervical cancer screenings. "We formed committees to identify a suitable Rotaract community project that President Burton could visit and worked to get at least 1,000 young people to attend the conference. We ended up with almost 3,000 attendees," Karungi says.

SMARTPHONE FORGES CROSS-CULTURAL CONNECTION
Posted by Ted Baker on Mar 11, 2014

When media strategist Kevin Hersh led a Group Study Exchange trip from District 7470 (New Jersey, USA) to India in late 2012, he relied on his smartphone’s camera to document the journey through Uttar Pradesh, a northern state that borders Nepal. Hersh, a member of the Rotary Club of The Caldwells, snapped photos of the Taj Majal and the Ganges River, banana vendors and stray dogs, as the group traveled more than 1,000 miles and met with 48 Rotary clubs across India’s most populous region. Among the projects they visited was a residential facility for tribal girls. Supported by members of the Rotary Club of Gonda and a local nonprofit since July 2012, the Mata Sita residence offers lodging, meals, health care, education, and training in domestic skills, such as sewing and henna application, for 15 young women from remote tribal communities. The girls were camera-shy at first: “They all stood with their heads down until I turned the phone around so the girls could see themselves on the screen and push the button,” Hersh recalls. “They giggled as they took their first self-portraits.” By SallyAnn Price

GLOBAL STAR ANGÉLIQUE KIDJO CHAMPIONS ROTARY’S EFFORTS IN NEW SONG
Posted by Ted Baker on Mar 06, 2014
![]() In her new album, “Eve,” Grammy award winner Angélique Kidjo honors the women in Africa, and pays tribute to Rotary’s work to end polio worldwide. The singer and activist from Benin chose to include Rotary in the soon-to-be-released video of the album’s signature song, “Eva.” Rotary’s presence in the video is no coincidence. The relationship between the singer dates back to 2011, when she joined about two dozen celebrities, including Jackie Chan, Jack Nicklaus, and Jane Goodall, in Rotary’s “This Close” polio awareness campaign. “I am the cherry on top of the cake,” says Kidjo in an exclusive interview with Rotary News. “The important work is done by the people in the field.” With the voices of Kidjo and collaborator Nigerian signer Asa as a backdrop, the video shadows a young girl as she wanders about in an old novelty shop. The curious girl turns on an old TV and sees the singers on-screen, followed by footage of a Rotary Family Health Day project in South Africa. She finds old photos and album covers of Kidjo and Asa and later, photos of polio survivors and polio immunization activities. The girl also finds a polio vaccine cooler used in immunization campaigns, and focuses on an "End Polio Now pin. In addition to Rotary’s prominent role in the video, Kidjo has lent her voice to the “This Close” campaign, and authored a 2011 World Polio Day op-ed and also attended a ceremony that illuminated the “End Polio Now” message on the New York Stock Exchange Building. She was also the keynote speaker at the 2012 Rotary World Peace Symposium and Rotary International Convention in Bangkok. “It’s great for Rotary to have Angélique Kidjo as such an engaged supporter of polio eradication,” says Petina Dixon-Jenkins, Rotary’s PolioPlus communication manager. “When she talks about helping others -- particularly girls and women in Africa -- it’s clear that everything comes from the heart.”

IN PAKISTAN, POLIO VACCINATORS EARN COMMUNITY TRUST IN SPITE OF DANGER
Posted by Ted Baker on Mar 03, 2014
![]() No polio vaccinator had ever set foot in Killi Baksho, near Pakistan's rugged northwest border with Afghanistan. Most people there have long opposed immunization, believing the polio vaccine causes infertility or AIDS. The combination of that public mistrust and intimidation from militant groups has been nothing short of deadly. In 2013, 20 polio vaccinators and nine police officers assigned to guard them were killed in Pakistan. With that memory fresh in their minds, a team from a Rotary-supported polio resource center went to the village to promote acceptance of the vaccine. They expected an uphill, potentially life-threatening battle It took the team a month just to persuade village elders and religious leaders to meet with them. But their persistence paid off. Immunizations were allowed to begin. read more on www.Rotary.org |

HELPING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES MAKE THEIR OWN MUSIC
Posted by Ted Baker on Feb 23, 2014
Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school. “A school like this helps children like Mateusz widen their perspectives, see the world a bit differently, and meet new people,” his father says. “If it weren’t for this school, there wouldn’t be a place in Lublin for disabled children who want to develop musically.” By Susie Ma

Gabrielle has hung out at the Brew with some of the First Pres Youth Group, attended a birthday party of a cousin of a friend of a sister of a somebody, I don’t know, it was too complicated for me to keep track. She has gone shopping with some friends, and spent Saturday over at Ransom Canyon with the Holloway family. She also took in her first American Football game on Friday night. At first she didn’t know any of the rules, but after the first quarter, she had a pretty firm grip on how the game worked, especially fourth down situations, and could, with a fair amount of accuracy, predict the decisions the coach was going to make. She, along with the rest of the crowd, felt like the team was robbed at the end of the first half with that terrible call allowing for a last second (?) field goal by Randall. She also enjoyed the band during halftime. Next week she will be going down to Lubbock to see a Texas Tech game, and will meet up with some of the other exchange students from around the area. She is looking forward to that.
