THE FUTURE IS NOW!

When Clubs Delegates chosen me to be District Governor the 16th of April 2011, I didn’t think that I will be responsible of “Future Vision” Plan launch in our District 7030.

We were successful in the first step: both District and all Clubs are certified!

Now, we have to assist our communities by supporting clubs projects: the District Foundation Committee will have a fundamental role this year in the implementation of the new grants system.

In addition of Rotary Foundation new process, we will have to success in a important work to have a transparent and comprehensive district: define Constitution and By-laws which the participation of any Rotarian in the District 7030.

The objectives shared in Granada will allow clubs and district leaders to have a guideline for better visibility and more efficiency of action of Rotary International in the Southern Caribbean and the three Guianas.

I thank each of you for the support that you have given me and for your commitment to serve above self.

ENGAGE ROTARY, CHANGE LIVES !

Zone 34 News Baboneau Water Project Extracted from « Roro 33 » RC Gros-Ilet Newsletter

For more than 45 years, Rotary Clubs in Saint Lucia have been very active across the island and work closely with communities to improve the quality of life for many, including those who are economically and socially disadvantaged. In this logic, they decided to meet the needs of water supply of the region of Baboneau, rural community located north of St. Lucia, with a young population and growing. In fact, this community with access to water one day a week, it is common to see women and children walking towards the top of the steep hillsides with buckets of water to collect water from the river. Storms and hurricanes have made this unreliable and risky solution for health. To cope with this great water crisis, the Rotary Clubs of Saint Lucia, with the support of the WASCO, participated in the project of establishment of a drinking water system to meet this need which will have an impact on the quality of life of the inhabitants of Baboneau.

Project Goal: Replacement of an obsolete tank of 10,000 stripes by a tank of 150,000 gallons for supplying 3 000 inhabitants.

• initiate, implement and follow the project • ensure the coordination of stakeholders • educate populations for commissioning.
