We did it! The water storage tank at the Orphan Garden is up and running!
The 39 AIDS orphans of the village of Likiting no longer have to lug water a mile up the mountainside to keep their crops alive during the dry summer months. Now, because of the water tank the children will have a plentiful vegetable garden, full of the crops necessary to stave off their hunger.

RI President-elect Kalyan Banerjee will ask Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity during the 2011-12 Rotary year. Banerjee unveiled the RI theme during the opening plenary session of the 2011 International Assembly, a training event for incoming district governors. He urged participants to harness their inner resolve and strength to achieve success in Rotary.
"In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves," Banerjee said.
Once Rotarians find their inner strength, he continued, they can accomplish great things in their communities and around the world.
"Discover yourself, develop the strengths within you, and then unhesitatingly, unflinchingly, go forth and encircle the world, to embrace humanity," he said.
