Our speaker will be fellow Rotarian, Razia Jan, founder and president of Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation. The Razia Jan Institute (RJI) is the first women’s post-secondary vocational school in rural Afghanistan. Opened in March 2017, the (RJI) sits adjacent to the Zabuli Education Center, the thriving K-12 school in Deh’Subz currently providing free education to 625 Afghan girls. The opening of the RJI was possible, in large part, by a Rotary Global Grant funded and coordinated by the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley.

HELP US FEED THE HUNGRY!

Local Rotary Clubs are funding the cost of the food. Now we need volunteers to assemble meals.

You will combine rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and a flavoring mix, including 21 essential vitamins and minerals, into small meal packages. The meals are then shipped around the world to support school feeding programs and crisis relief. The food is stored easily, transports quickly and has a shelf-life of two years.

Great fun and rewarding for all ages

THE GUATEMALA STOVE AND WATER FILTER PROJECT TRAVEL DATES ARE MARCH 23-31, 2019

THE PROJECT INVOLVES TRAVELING TO PANAJACHEL, SOLOLA, GUATEMALA AND ASSISTING WITH THE INSTALLATION OF APPROXIMATELY 200 STOVES AND WATER FILTERS IN HOMES AND IN THE SCHOOL.  THE RURAL VILLAGE OF PANAJACHEL IS ON THE NORTHEAST SHORE OF LAKE ATTITLAN.  THE PROJECT IS DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NUEVA ROTARY CLUB IN GUATEMALA, WHICH IS THE HOST CLUB FOR THE GLOBAL GRANT.

THE INITIAL COST ESTIMATE FOR AIRFARE AND HOTEL IS $1,200-$1,500 PER PERSON.  

WHY WE ARE GOING:  Many Guatemalans face health risks every day, in their own homes and schools. The open fires traditionally used for cooking inside homes lead to devastating  respiratory problems and severe burns. At especially high risk are children under age 5, for whom acute respiratory infection is the leading cause of death. Meanwhile, with sixty percent of disease in Guatemala waterborne, millions lack access to clean drinking water.  In addition, the open fires are inefficient and contribute to the rapid deforestation in the region, which will have global environmental remifications.

We will be installing ONIL stoves and water filters in the rural homes in Panajachel, Guatemala.  The ONIL cookstove is a safe alternative to open fires, removing smoke from the home and reducing firewood usage by 70%. The ONIL water filter achieves 100% removal of parasites and 99.99% removal of pathogenic bacteria.

The stoves and water filters will dramatically reducing the incidence of respiratory illness and other health problems and cutting the time  the families spend collecting firewood. That means more time in school and earning income, especially for women and girls.
