I would like to thank you and the Rotary club for your continued hospitality and allowing me to talk about the progress of our matching grant application for the Centre for Children with Special Needs in Dhaka Bangladesh (http://www.ccsnbangladesh.org/ ) . Things are looking good and we hope to have an approved grant in the not too distant future.
The lead club for this matching grant is the Merrimack Valley regional club in Chelmsford. Other clubs and individuals will be able to contribute to this effort once we have approval and a grant number. This effort will multiply $3,500.00 in donations to over $11,000.00 to help a group of crippled children that have few other alternatives for a better life in one of the poorest countries in the world.
It would be great if the Your club would consider a donation of $500.00 or whatever you think possible. Also, individuals who are planning to contribute to the foundation will be able to do so using the grant number when it is available and get Paul Harris credit. It was great to hear that the club matches contributions to the foundation by club members. Unfortunately, as I understand it, once they have made their foundation donation they cannot go back and designate this project. Therefore, designating CCSN can only be done after the grant is approved and a number obtained.
Thanks very much for your help and consideration.
