New on-Line Rotary e-Club launches

 
Linking water, sanitation and hygiene expertise from around the world to address the appalling plight of hundreds of millions of people who lack access to safe, clean water for drinking and washing; that's the purpose of newly-Chartered Rotary Club of e-WASH (Water, Sanitation, & Hygiene) based in Dunedin, New Zealand
 
The e-Club meets on-line at  www.rotarywasheclub.org and has members from New Zealand, Africa, the United States, Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
 
 
The WASH – water, sanitation and hygiene – E-Club is the brainchild of Rotarian, and former Dunedin Rotary club president, Dr Steve Atkins. Inaugural e-club president Dr Chris Bloore says "The concept was that, by carefully matching volunteers’ skills, experience and personality to the real needs of sustainable water and sanitation projects, the most benefit for time, money and effort expended would be achieved."
 
While the new e-club mightn’t gather traditionally on terra firma, the flavour is still very much Rotary – members meet weekly, perform service projects, locally and internationally, support the Rotary Foundation, and enjoy the company of like minds.   Read more ...
