8,000 students in southern Uganda are benefiting from the sales proceeds of high-quality pans produced exclusively for Rotary in Wilhelmshaven. Over two-thirds of the limited edition of more than 1,000 units, featuring a large Rotary logo and the signature "Limited Edition 2017 x/1000," have already been sold by the initiating RC Varel Friesland and District 1850.
Under the motto "Education for Africa," a Global Grant is funding books for 25 schools in Uganda - an investment of 60,000 dollars. Their second Global Grant, worth around 50,000 euros, likewise benefits students in Uganda. This one covers rebuilding a primary school building destroyed by a storm, including dormitories for young girls and blind children, so they no longer have to walk their long route to school unaccompanied every day.
"It's not only Ugandan children who benefit from the pans, but home cooks too: thanks to extremely fast heating, even steaks by Argentinian standards turn out beautifully."
Christoph Stecher, Club President, RC Varel Friesland
