Dear District Governor,
Rotary Greetings from Members of the Rotary club of Madurai.
Rotary club of Madurai is oldest club in India and we celebrated our club Platinum Jubilee recently. We do two Global Grant project every year. We have received a request from seven needy schools / Institutions in Madurai. Most of them are educationally, socially and economically downtrodden.
The students do not have desks and benches and hence sit on the floor for 8 hours, which is very inconvenient to pay attention. They do not have proper toilet facilities and are compelled to use open places. By providing them clean toilets we can improve the hygiene of the surroundings. Some are so poor that they are compelled to use toilets during school hours for want of such facilities at their homes. For a school / Institution that require a van students have to walk long distances or use public buses to which they can’t afford to reach their school / Institution. Schools / Institutions are not equipped with sufficient number of computers, which is a must for every student for their future job opportunities.
In fact the school / Institution is offering free break fast / free mid day meals for poor students by collecting contributions from philanthropic persons.
The followingseven institutions / schools have requested our club to provide the following articles.
