August 24, 2009 – Andrew Kunze – Traveled to Uganda, E. Africa
Andrew traveled to Uganda to work with Orphans. He decided he wanted to spend 2 weeks of his summer helping those in need and went to www.idealist.org and found Uganda. He stayed at the Orphanig with the Orphans, learned there culture and helped them build such things as goat barns. He showed us pictures from his trip that showed us everything from the vehicles used for transportation, food they ate, and how they dressed. It seems Andrew accomplished all he could in 2 weeks, and is furthering that here in the states by raising money to purchase mosquito nets to send back for the children’s beds.
Jenifer Dixon, Danville Symphony Orcherstra, was introduced as our newest Rotary Member.
Scott Reed presented Sparky Songer from the WAR museum with a check for $5836.00 from money raised by Rotarians for the Memorial day flags put out on Vermilion street. Sparky was very thankful.
