INDIA PROJECT

UPDATE on the collaboration of our  La Crosse Rotary Club and Valley View Rotary Club supporting a secondary school - Sanitation and Menstrual Health Management Project.  (The project site is in a small rural village located in TamilNadu, South India.   The project will address the following sanitation needs:  to help build toilet blocks for 745 students and 18 teachers at Pattamadai Ramaseshier Secondary School; to provide basic Menstrual Health Management for 253 girls at Ramaseshier School; to provide 1 incinerator and maintenance for disposal of used sanitary napkins and to train school maintenance worker for the incinerator.)
 
Note from Sandra LeGrand, Valley View Rotary Club.....
 
Special thanks to all the generous Rotarians of Valley View and Downtown Clubs for helping make this dream come true for 950 students at Pattamadai School in Tamil Nadu, South India.  The opening of the facilities for boys,girls,and teachers will be held on June 16,2017.  The training for the girls in Menstrual Health was held in January of 2017. Great work by our Indian Partners and for everyone who helped with writing the grant and of course Rotary Foundation, Rotary International, World Fund, WASH institute in India and all contributors over the past year.
 
I am leading a delegation to go to Pattamadai to actually witness these facilities and to support the efforts to bring sanitation to this village.  Anyone interested in coming please contact me at sondralegrand@gmail.com. The trip is planned for January 5-15, 2018.  It will be a trip of a lifetime.
