Run by Mr. David Talbot, a fellow Rotarian,
Crutches4Africa has been supplying
crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, and canes to
Africans, all for free. The Niwot Rotary has and
is continuing to collect these items and donate
funds. This was the first international project
we joined in on. Monetary contributions go to
shipping and local production of appropriate and
more durable spare parts. |

Center was founded to care for and
eventually release into appropriate habitats,
injured and orphaned wildlife. It strives to
educate the public and emphasizes humane
solutions to human/wildlife interactions. They

educating underprivileged children in central
America, primarily Nicaragua. Founder and

her school library in Nicaragua. |

BeadforLife is working in Uganda to
eradicate Poverty "One Bead at a Time". In
Uganda, 80% of the people live in extreme
poverty on around $1 a day. By organizing women
in a cottage industry and providing a market,
BeadforLife has raised their living standard.
Visit their website to view more about their
story, the bead makers, and to see their video. |

RAFT Colorado is an organization that helps
teachers obtain extremely affordable items,
kits, and hands-on teaching "paraphernalia" to
use in education. If you want a fun and
enthusiastic program, check this out and give
Dawn a call. Caution: Many people in the group
will not be able to keep from playing with the
toys, and separate the engineers who will be
trying to figure them out and even make
them "better". (Like putting augmentation
springs on the miniature marshmallow catapult.) |
