ROTARY GRANT APPROVED

Fabulous African Fabrics received the news this week that $13,800 will be awarded to The Good Samaritan Home in Nairobi, Kenya in February. The money was raised by the Dunedin Rotary North of Dunedin, FL along with other clubs in the Rotary District. That amount of money recieved a matching grant from Rotary International, headquartered in Evanston, IL. With the cooperation of one of the Nairobi clubs, The Good Samaritah Home will receive $14,000.

The funds are earmarked for high school tuition. Public high schools in Kenya require tuition, of about $300 per year at a basic school. The orphans of the Good Samaritan Home receive their elementary education on site. Through hard work and excellent teachers, many children score high enough on their exiting tests to enter high school. Every year there is a scramble to find enough tuition money to pay for all of the deserving teenagers. Any additional monies will go to food expenses for the children.

FAF Executive Director, Laura G. Salazar is a member of the Dunedin North Rotary club.
