Rotary Club: La Mesa Sunrise Project Title: Quingoma School kitchen Equipm 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? Funds were sent to Quingoma, Brazil to purchase kitchen supplies for a Rotary Preschool. One of the honorary members of La Mesa Sunrise Rotary, Paulo Costa, was a member of this club and has shared the value of this school and kitchen to the community which is made up of low income people. The school is a center for community engagement and parent education in addition to being a fully functioning preschool. The kitchen had already been built by Rotarians and needed appliances and supplies to be able to feed children during the school day. 2. How many people benefited from this project? 120 students and their families. 3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met? The beneficiaries of this project were the families who bring their children to the preschool. Children are able to eat nutritious meals made from fresh ingredients. The humanitarian need that was met was maternal and child health. In addition to the benefit of good nutrition, families are more likely to bring children to school when they know they will get a good meal; this helps to meet the humanitarian need of basic education and literacy. 4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? 40 Rotarians and 40 Rotary wives 5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project. Rotarians have purchased and delivered all of the supplies to the kitchen. Rotarians visit the school weekly to help with students, give workshops to parents on topics such as nutrition, dental health, domestic violence. In addition, volunteers provide dental exams and treatment. Volunteers also teach parents how to cook and bake bread, giving them marketable job skills. 6. If a cooperating organization was involved, what was its role? This project was fully implemented by Rotarians. Actual building was done by local contractors. There was no official cooperating organization. The Caster Foundation provided some of the funding. 7. Income
