All funds have been received and deposited into a special Matching Grant account by Newlands Rotarians. Glynis Menne, new project leader and coordinator and Toufeeq Thomas, ECD project coordinator, organized a "field trip" for Newlands Rotarians and Dottie Leveque, Ontario Rotarian, to visit all five of the ECD project sites on August 1. The group was impressed by how much had been accomplished since the initial project activities began some two years ago. Two schools have been fully approved by the Department of Education; one school is just waiting for approval, and a fourth is completing requirements. The fifth school requires more work.
The Matching Grants planning committee will be meeting prior to the regular meeting of Newlands Rotary on September 19 to implement the grant and planning for the expenditure of the funds.

Due to recent changes in membership and the illness of one of the key members of the Newlands Rotary Matching Grant Team, a meeting of the new team members was held on Thursday, October 20 at the Early Childhood Centre in Claremont (Cape Town) to review project progress thus far and set a path for the completion of the project with Toufeeq Thomas, ECD Coordinator, and the team members. Clarification on what will be required on all sides for financial record keeping was discussed and agreed upon. Newlands Team members are: Glynis Menne, Chairperson in charge of project implementation; Mike Walwyn, Financial Oversight; and Bill Holland, Chairperson of the club's Social Services Committee. Dottie Leveque, Ontario Rotary, Ontario, California was also present at the meeting. A subsequent meeting/site visit was scheduled for November 9, 2011 at Kaalvoet Educare Centre in Lavender Hill. The purpose of the meeting will be to see the program in action and to clarify the educational materials and toys needed for each of the five schools, so that purchases can be made which will support the learning program for the students.
