Index to Matching Grants from 2007-2008
|
RC of FCO Beltrao-Integracao, Brazil |
Our district took part in a Group Study Exchange with District 4640 in Brazil in the 2000-2001 Rotary year. |
The Brazilian team leader, Edgar Behne, brought a Matching Grant proposal from his home club to fund a computer lab in a school that his Rotary club has begun and funded. |
This grant was applied for in the fall of 2001, the grant was approved in the winter and funded in the spring of 2002.
|
We have just received these photographs taken at the dedication ceremony of the new computer lab. The final report has been submitted and approved.Coincidentally, Brazilian GSE Team Leader Edgar Behne's daughter, Amanda, is now a Rotary Youth Exchange student hosted by the Rotary Club of Jackson, Missouri.

Status - Final Report submitted and accepted. Project Complete. |
RC of Sao Bento do Sul, Brazil |
|
Several Rotarians from District 6060 took part in a Friendship Exchange with District 4650, Brazil, in the fall of 2000. While traveling and being hosted in Brazil they visited with Rotarians of several clubs and brought back ideas for Matching Grants with three clubs.The Rotary Club of Sao Bento planned a project to purchase some paper recycling equipment for a handicapped training facility. The participants are mentally or physically handicapped, or both. |
|
Our friend, Geraldo of the RC of Sao Bento do Sul and the director of the institution. In Geraldo's hand is one sample of the finished recycled paper product, decorated by the kids at the school. |
|
 |
The shredded paper is cut into smaller pieces and sorted by dominant color. |
This machine uses the cut paper to make a slurry, which is then used to make the new paper products. |
 |
 |
The slurry is spread and processed on a screen to allow for drying. |
This is the recycled product midway through the process. It will be formed into gift boxes, greeting cards, and bookmarks and hand-decorated by the students. |
|
|
|
Several examples of the finished products produced by the paper recycling process. |
More examples of the beautiful greeting cards produced by the students at the center. |
|
 |
The students also recycle newspaper into tubes of recycled paper which are then woven into baskets which are painted or lacquered to be sold. |
