No, not an example of this site’s latest upgraded spam protection system, nor a new password system to keep undesirables off the site and give it celebrity cache, but a random sum of money that Ruthie won at her last Rotary club meeting. (Ruthie would have written <pound sign> 477, but this computer was purchased in the States, where no currency other than the dollar is recognised.)
Ruthie is the first and only female member of her Rotary club, having joined to upset them, and stayed to be a continuing irritation, by not only being a woman, but also winning the raffle.
But Ruthie, being at heart a generous soul, has pledged the money to charity. If she can come up with a suitable international project, Rotary international will match the money from their fund. Ruthie is casting around for some bright ideas that will fire the interest of the 30 middle aged men that form the rest of her club, and wondered if any readers had any suggestions.Â
Good on you, Ruthie - Breast Cancer charity? Battered Women Refuge?
Both very worthy and deserving.
It has to be something international to get the matched funding. Im a keen supporter of womens charities, but also education I think is very worthy. Sadly in many countries its hard to deal with the education problems without tackling the basic food/water/shelter/sanitation issues first.
I just wondered whether any readers had/knew of any projects.
