This is a small project that one of our former members
Finn Ronne got involved in while living in the Philippines. A typhoon destroyed a bunch of houses along the shoreline that very poor people
who had little or nothing lived in. The Rotary club in that area decided to build 100 houses in 100 days. They are really just steel pipe
framed shelters but according to Fin they are still better than what most had before the storm.
After reading about this in our local paper we
contacted Finn and at our regular meeting asked our members to help these unfortunate people. The idea of buying a house for $250.00 caught on
and we have at least 9 purchased by our members and members of the downtown club have purchased 3 to date. We are also exploring funding
through our district to purchase more. Our club will pay the difference to make the $250.00 CDN donation, a $250 US donation.
