On Tuesday, March 30, BEHC met with Rotary Club Accra-South District, 9100 to propose our project in hopes of collaborating towards fundraising efforts and resolving sustainability issues after we leave the village in August.
We had gotten in contact with Mr. Robert Mills, the future rising president to the rotary chapter in earlier March, who strongly suggested that we should present our project to the board in the form of a twenty minute presentation.
After presenting our project, the rotary board expressed enthusiasm and suggested that we should send in a budget proposal, as well as a succinct project description, which will thereby be submitted to a West African Development Projects "Bank" in November 2010. The purpose is to keep track of our personal progress on BEHC and also be able to have the village on file for other organizations to follow-up with our efforts in hopes of sustaining its improvements and growth.
We also received certificates of gratitude for presenting our project and have been invited by members to return again to make future contributions.
Plans for Rotary Club Accra-South District, 9100 and a New York-based Rotary Club to collaborate on BEHC are still in the works and will soon be confirmed.
