Rotarians for Family Health & AIDS Prevention
WALKS THE TALK!
Rotary Family Health Days is the signature program of Rotarians For Family Health & AIDS Prevention (RFHA). The program promotes healthy living and disease prevention by implementing a massive, annual campaign in four countries in Africa and in India that provides comprehensive, free health care services tens of thousands of people in underprivileged communities.
The services include lifelong immunizations to children, such as polio and measles vaccines and comprehensive life-saving annual screens such as HIV, TB, Malaria, Diabetes, Hypertension and more.

The Rotary Diamond Explained
We came up with this idea to show that Rotarains are the shining glittering facets of the head of a diamond, say, in a ring.
The part of the diamond that you do not see are the people, Rotarians, who support the members. The pointy end of the diamond is the District Governor in this case.
Rotarians are rare diamonds.
Dream Cricket in Nepal
One of the best projects going on in our District 9700 is Dream Cricket.
Currently being promoted in Nepal by Mary Brell from the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak. Mary is in Nepal with the REAL SCHOOLIES from Orange. What a wonderful project.
The Schoolies brought Dream cricket to Nepal today! Everyone involved had a wonderful day and the schoolies experience something extremely humbling. An great initiative and start to an ongoing international friendship!

Dear DGE John,
I am really happy to read the event was a success. Congratulations on drawing in such a large number to a training day like this.
I’m sure we can provide the same support, or possibly physically attend next years event. Thanks for your openness to the light side of my video, I’m glad it was well received.
Its incredible Polio had such an impact on so many Rotarians. I am sorry for the loss of your friend. It is stories like this that motivate me to do as much as I can.
As of today, I have raised $15,300 USD. Once matched by the Gates foundation, that will look like $45,000 USD.
I hope I can make the ride event you have planned. Let’s hope dates don’t clash.
Once I’ve completed the Tucson ride, I will certainly provide any ideas or feedback I have.
Regards,
Andrew
