Rotary Club: Del Mar Project Title: How to Save Babies Lives 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? District Grant P2404 provided funds for the publication and widespread distribution of a formal report written by Dr. Sharon Schendel detailing the tremendous success of global grant G-815 (TRF# 1525173) ,†Saving Babies Lives in Ethiopiaâ€. Because of its success, this project has the potential to serve as a template for introducing Training of Trainers programs to save babies lives at birth throughout Ethiopia and in other low resource areas around the world. One hundred high-quality copies of this document were printed. Seventy copies were sent to the team in Ethiopia where they are being circulated among governmental and non-governmental agencies to generate interest and support for continuing the program at Gondar University Hospital and scaling up this successful project.
