What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project. The Anchorage East Rotary International Service Committee considered several projects for the 2020-2021 Rotary year. Some projects could not be accomplished due to Covid pandemic restrictions. In a prior year the AER had invited the Malawi Children's Village (MCH) to make a presentation at a weekly meeting. As a result, the Committee reached out to MCH to see if Rotary could assist with a project that could be accomplished during the pandemic. This involved some planning and consideration. Then, after consideration the Committee recommended the proposed partner project to the AER Board. The Board approved the MCH project and matching funds were obtained from the District. 6. If a cooperating organization was involved, what was its role? The MCH Foundation provided additional funding for the Teacher Housing project and directed construction through on-site staff and hired laborers. A Foundation Board member kept AER advised of the project status. 7. Income
