Connecting with Reconnections - 30 January

I spent the afternoon with Reconnection Rotarians Tilan and Rohan discussing a few projects that clubs in District 7630 may be interested in supporting. Tilan is the incoming club president and gave an overview of several projects the club is working on including reducing infant mortality in rural areas and providing package water treatment systems to schools. Rohan is an engineer working for the National Water Supply & Drainage Board. He also travels for The Rotary Foundation evaluating major grant water installation projects. He has engineered water projects for two schools in low income areas that have water supplies not safe to drink. The project provides water filtration and purification plants at the school wells as well as follow-up monitoring and testing. More will follow on these projects when I get back to the states. Sorry no picture to show.
