1. The Rotary Foundation believes the Future Vision Areas of Focus reflect critical
humanitarian issues and needs that Rotarians are addressing worldwide. They will
align Rotary with other international development efforts and will strategically
further the Foundation's mission. Water and Sanitation, Basic Education and Literacy
and Economic and Community Development are three of the six goals of The Rotary
and Economic and Community Development are three of the six goals of The Rotary
Foundation Future Vision. We have a project that makes an impact on all of these.

2. We live in a dry country but often take our access to water for granted. Just turn the
tap and high quality, safe drinking water is delivered (so long as you paid the bill) for
drinking, washing and even just to water the grass.

3. Now imagine you live in another place. You are a child, especially a girl child. The
water source for your family is kilometres away. It is your task to walk there collect
the water usually in 25 litre container and carry it home. That water maybe dirty, not
necessarily good for your health and you face the hazards of predators of all types on
the way.

Add to this, while you are busy collecting water for survival of your family, you may
not be able to attend school. Another thing that we may take for granted in our own
circumstances.

12. I now have pledges from four clubs (including Booragoon) totalling $7067 and
therefore still seeking $9,500 in order to make this project possible. To achieve this
goal I need to raise most of these funds within February to complete the matching
grant before they are cut off for this year in March.
I would like to seek support from the Rotary Club of ______________ to assist in
making this project a success. A pledge to support the project of any value would
help us towards achievement of this goal.
