Welcome to Chicago Financial District Rotary

AN EXAMPLE OF A GLOBAL PROJECT -- AND HOW INITIATE AND SUSTAIN ONE

By
Main article image for story titled 'AN EXAMPLE OF A GLOBAL PROJECT -- AND HOW INITIATE AND SUSTAIN ONE'On January 4th 2024, at our club meeting, Marga Hewko -- who heads us the International Services Committee for her Rotary Club, presented an overall review on the "how to's" to initiate an international global grant, as well as on how to maintain one. In the process of putting a international project together, a global grant from the district foundation is part of the project.

Another example of an international project, modern surgical equipment  for struggling medical systems is provided; an example being where in a developing country, where a Black and Decker electric saw was used to open the skull in the of a neurosurgical procedure!

Apparently, Rotary is a key player in Ukraine, with the highest ratings by Charity Navigator.
