PDG Pete Smith has more buses to go to Cameroon
District
7820 is sending the last of four school buses to Cameroon, two are now travelling
the roads of Limbe picking up the children who would otherwise be walking
several kilometres for their education. The third bus is being shipped using a
Matching Grant, the last one is in storage waiting on funds. To date a total of 18 District clubs have
contributed to this project. You can
imagine the pride I have when I visit Cameroon to see our buses full of
children display our District, Rotary logo and Canadian flag .
However,
we need to raise approximately $8,000 more for the fourth bus. These are diesel units, in excellent
condition and are well maintained by the schools in Cameroon. You can all be proud of the District
commitment since 2004 to this African country as mentioned in the November
issue of the Rotarian. Donations may be
sent to the Rotary Club of Kentville or the Rotary Club of Port Hawkesbury.

For those Clubs who do not presently have an
International Project this is a great way to make a contribution to a solid
International Project. I fully support the valuable work PDG Pete and the
Rotary Clubs of Kentville, Port Hawkesbury and District are doing in Cameroon.
Please consider your support.
