MATCHING GRANT RECOMMENDATION FROM
SEATTLE ROTARY CLUB, CHAPTER 5030 |
|
MEDRIX was recognized by the Seattle Chapter 5030 of Rotary International
as a recommended non-profit matching grant channel for its membership.
The following was a report issued by the Seattle Chapter on its website:
In February of 2002, I traveled to Vietnam for a Rotary Discovery
Grant.
During my two weeks in the country, I traveled from Ho Chi Minh City
(formerly Saigon) in the south, to Da Nang, Hue, Dong Ha, and finally,
Hanoi. Each day I visited non governmental organizations that are
working on humanitarian projects. The purpose of my site visits was to
learn more about what these organizations were doing, and the result of
their projects.
The information I gathered will be of help to any Rotary Club in the
world, to help them decide what organization they want to work with, and
what project(s) they want to fund.
An index follows listing the NGOs I visited. Clicking on the NGO name
will take you to a page that has detailed information about that
organization, the projects they have completed, and the projects they
would like help funding. Your Rotary club can use this information to
help you decide a project that fits your budget and your interest.
The detailed information includes phone numbers, web sites and email
addresses so that you can contact the organization directly. I am also
available to answer questions and welcome your inquiries. You can reach
me at sally@mackles.net.
A copy of my final report to Rotary International can be found at the
bottom of the index and will provide your club with additional
information. Finally, a listing of Rotary Clubs and their projects in
Vietnam is provided so that you can contact these clubs for possible
matching grants.
Having seen the need for humanitarian assistance wherever I was in
Vietnam, and witnessing the excellent work the organizations I have
listed are doing, it is my hope that Rotary clubs throughout the world
will use my research to fund many of the critical projects discussed in
this report.
