Fighting
to Save Children in Africa
by Raga
S. Elim, Ph.D., Chairman, Capital District Committee on International Understanding
Thank
you once again for your donations to the Initiative
for Africa. Our total has reached $11,311.
We still have some distance to go, but we are
counting on your continued support and are
optimistic that we will reach our goal of $30,000.
Some donors have arranged matching funds from
their employers. If your employer is equally
generous, we ask you to take advantage of this
arrangement.
I also would like to report that our competition
for projects on international understanding
among CKI clubs throughout the District is
progressing very satisfactorily. We have received
a number of quality proposals, and awards for
winning projects will be announced at the CKI
District Convention on March 28, 2009.
Cash awards totaling $2500 will be awarded:
$500 each to the best 4 proposals and $100
each to another 5 proposals. These awards are
made possible by the Capital District Kiwanis
Foundation. We thank the Board of Trustees
of the District foundation for making this
worthy competition possible.
