WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE INTERNATIONALLY

The Rotary theme this year is ‘Be a Gift to the World.’   Boise Metro makes a different in our community on the greenbelt, through Senior Games, Idaho Gives and more!  We also make a difference internally.  Here’s how: 

Several of our club members have been to Guatemala to see the action of Semilla Nueva in person.  The club has approved $500 be given to the District 5400 global grant project.  Semilla Nueva means ‘new seed’ and it is working to grow better ideas for a better tomorrow in Guatemala.    With a focus on heath and sutatinability, they are working to end malnutrition and improve food and nutrion security through farmer to farmer programs.  For more information:  http://semillanueva.org

The other District 5400 global grant project that Boise Metro will financially support with $500 as part of the International program is Village Hope in Sierra Leone.  They are creating jobs and reducing poverty on the ground in Sierra Leone.  Hard hit by Ebola, Village Hope is moving past the epidemic and continues working to improve the standards of living through mentoring, education, Cassava and Gari.  http://villagehopeinc.org/index.html
