Rotary Club of Narrative Description 2013-2014 International Service
1. Sister Club Relationship. This fall, we were approached by the Rotary Club of Nagoya-South, Japan,
about the possibility of a sister club relationship. Nagoya-South is a large, well-established club, so we were excited at the possibilities such a relationship might provide. Throughout the winter, our two club boards exchanged correspondence and drafts of the formal relationship document. We are now planning a formal signing event on April 12. It is our club’s 5th anniversary, and a delegation of six members from the Nagoya-South Club are planning to attend. The event will include appropriate cultural sharing with keiki hula performance, an ukulele band, and presentation of leis.
2. Global Grants. As a small, young club, we have not yet initiated a global project (although we have one in the works, see below). We have, however, been privileged to participate in three Global Grants as a participating club. This year, we supported the Mechanical Cow Project initiated by the La Mesa Sunrise Club for 10 cows in Ecuador, the installation of sanitation at schools in Mewat, India, which will make it possible for girls to attend school and promote the general health of the community, and we supported Phase 3 (as well as the preceding two phases) of the installation of a computer lab at the high school in Grahamstown, South Africa – this one for girls.
3. Future Global Grant. Through the expertise and direct experience of member Derek Chignell, and past ADG Bill Cliff, we have begun discussions with an experienced club in Kosovo. The goal is to bring forth a Global Grant Project that will provide clean water and sanitation to a minimum of five high schools that presently have neither clean water nor sanitation. This is an ambitious project for a small club, and we hope to have our Global Grant ready to submit by the second half of Rotary Year 2014-2015.
4. EREY Initiative. A high percentage of our club membership is either new to Rotary or young in Rotary. Accordingly, their appreciation of the role of Foundation requires nurturing. We have approached this with program, attendance at District Assembly by new members, and by a President’s Outreach Program. There are three goals to this initiative: first, to improve member understanding of how a dollar to Foundation grows to support international projects; two, show members the range of ways a member can contribute to Foundation; and three, become an EREY Club in year 2014. We are on track, and in the final phase – the President’s Outreach Program during which our club president will meet one on one with every member who has not yet made a contribution to Foundation. We are optimistic!

Sara Stuart-‐Currier, Global Grant Scholar is hosted by RC of we received a $30K grant to support her education in Wellington, New Zealand. We are excited for her efforts with water conservation which is one of the areas of focus in Rotary. She has visited many Rotary clubs in Rotary D5000 to discuss her plight to use the scholarship funds to bring awareness on this very important subject of our “Water”. She is now attending Victoria University in New Zealand working towards her master’s degree in Environmental Sciences. More information will be provided when received.
Rotary Club of Manila Bay is one of our sister clubs, we partnered with their "Adopt a Family" program for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. When President Bobby Galvez of RC of Manila Bay in the Philippines, presented the “Balay Mo, Abag Ko” (Translated “Your House, I Support”) program, our International Service chair Paul Nakachi jumped at the opportunity to help our friends in the Philippines. What is unique about his program is that it supports the whole family by providing one sack of rice every month for one year. As rice is the main staple for these families and knowing that they would have this supply for the entire year, these families can now focus on other needs to rebuild their homes and lives. Rotary Club of members donated $1,385 to support three (3) families. Arrangements have been made for the distribution of the sacks of rise to the beneficiaries in the three towns of Isabel, Merida and Palompon. These towns are on the western side of the Leyte province. We are hoping that President Bobby will send us the names of our newly adopted families. This program is unique for it is direct relief to the people in need and also affords the donors a personal relationship with the victims. This is another example of “Engage Rotary ….Change Lives”.
Rotary Club of Manila Bay opened up another joint project in June 2013. Paul Nakachi International Chair hand delivered a check to the RC of Manila Bay for school supplies. The school supplies are ready to be given out to the students in July 2013. This donation helped the students to have the needed supplies needed to study and continue their education without worry.
Rotary Club of Kona Mauka partnered with Bill Cliff on a $30,000 global grant to provide needed computers for a all girl’s classroom located in Africa. We RC of Mililani Sunrise stepped up quickly to participate and earmarked a total of $500 toward this grant.

District 5000, Hawaii AWARDS SUBMISSION FORM 2013-2014 Narrative for International Service Total number of projects accomplished this Rotary year is 3. Please provide a narrative description of your International Service projects including the best projects listed above and any detail supporting your checked items above. Limit your response to ONE 8½”x11” page. (No letterhead, pictures, or graphics and print in Times New Roman 12pt size). A narrative follows: __X__ Yes ____ No Submission Deadline: 1 April 2014 Narrative for International Service (G) for RCPS: The Club initiated an ambitious Reverse Match “International Project”, the Malama Peace Trail and Cultural Center Project. It was to be located near the Kua O KaLa Charter School in Puna, Big Island. It was a $30,000 project primarily funded by Taiwan Clubs contributions. It was funded and approved at the RI level under Project Number MG #79570. The foreign funds from Taiwan Rotarys were approved and ready to be transferred and received by our Club. Club officers spent a great deal of time documenting the project and working through several options for its’ development. The primary problem with the project was that the essential State permits for work on the foreshore could not be obtained in a timely manner. The project had to be cancelled by our Club when the permits were clearly not forthcoming. This project was certainly a learning experience for all concerned. The Club promoted Polio Plus by setting up collection boxes at several stores promoting Polio Plus and its record of success. Several hundred dollars were collected using this approach. The Club also promoted Polio Plus by marching in the Puna Holiday Parade. We believe this informed people and led to better understanding of what the Club stands for in our community. As a new approach to encouraging good students, our club funded a matching grant to recognize 6 students from the local schools. Our selection committee took advice from principals and Club members to acknowledge improved schoolwork, excellent schoolwork and leadership. A spinoff of this program was that large extended families came to our club award meetings to support their relatives. This no doubt promoted Rotary in our community both from the personal contacts with family members and newspaper publicity the Club received.
International Service Our club participates with all the Maui clubs in the International Service Projects and the Global Grant Projects - Matching Grants: 78196 Bangalore Downtown Dialysis Center $52,750 with the Rotary Clubs of Bangalore Down Town (Host), Wailuku (PIP), Kahului, Maui, Kona, Lahaina, North Hawaii, Upcountry Maui, Kihei Sunrise, Valley Isle Sunset. 78218 Elgaladeen Village, Kerdasa, Giza Water Project $30,526 with the Rotary Clubs of Giza North (Host), Lahaina Sunrise (PIP), Kahului, Kona, Kona Mauka, Lahaina, Maui, West Honolulu, Upcountry Maui, Kihei Sunrise, Kona Sunrise, and Valley Isle Sunset. Our club is hosting a reception for the Friendship Exchange Program from Australia, and 30% of our members are participating the outbound group. We participated in the Maui Club Reception for their Sister City. We participated in the Statewide Polio Plus event with our interact club. We supported and sponsored Rotary World Peace Fellow candidate Megan Meyer for D5000. Even though she was not selected, the process of being involved with the International Peace Forum, Team Maui and Rotary has connected her to Rotary for life.
