Global Grant Workshop at the Marshall House in Leesburg Join Fellow Rotarians for an Educational Day, February 25, 2017, 10:00 am-1:00pm

What better place to place to learn about executing Global Grants than at the George Marshall

House in Leesburg, VA? George C. Marshall was a General and a Rotarian. He is mostly known

for being the architect of the Marshall Plan, used as an economic development plan for Europe

post World War II. Growing Local Economies is one of Rotary’s Areas of Focus.

The six Areas of Focus provided by The Rotary Foundation give us a general framework to solve

some of the global challenges that exist today. Whether you see need for growing the local

economy for those less fortunate here in District 7610 or you are concerned with education and

or clean water in a third world country, a Rotary Global Grant may be just the tool needed. These

grants must have a budget of $30,000 to $200,000.

The purpose of this workshop is to encourage D7610 Rotarians to write global grants. We will

have people that have written Global Grants (in some cases multiple grants) as well as Rotarians

who are interested in writing new Global Grants (Bring your ideas!). We will go over step by step

what is needed to make your Global Grant come to fruition. The architects of submitted grants

will be on hand to answer questions. We will work together to see if District 7610 can tackle

some of the globes’ greatest challenges by writing Global Grant in the coming years.

The Rotary Club of Fairfax Celebrates Literacy in Guatemala

By Paula Brown Kelley and Ann Dempsey

In addition to its community service projects, the Rotary Club of Fairfax stays

involved in international service projects through Global and District grants.

One of the international programs to which the 85 year old club donates is the

Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP), funded by a Rotary Global Grant. Rick

Schroeder, a Fairfax Rotary past president, brought the GLP to the Rotary club’s

attention when he became a Rotarian. Drawn to visit Guatemala, twelve years

ago after searching for a service project, he reconnected with two brothers he

knew from their college days at Xavier University, Joe and Jeff Berninger.

Jeff Berninger had taken a leave of absence from Procter and Gamble in 1992

and headed south to Guatemala to volunteer as an English teacher. Jeff soon

realized that he had no books or teaching aids and asked his employer for a grant to purchase books. But ever the Systems Engi-

neer, Jeff wanted to make the program sustainable through student rental fees so that both present and future students would have

use of the books. When nearby schools caught wind of the self-sustaining Textbook Project, they wanted it too. Jeff’s brother Joe left

his job at IBM, and signed on to help replicate the program throughout Guatemala. The two brothers, with their business back-

grounds and hearts for service, made it their mission to break the cycle of poverty in Guatemala through education. Today, the work

of these two brothers has grown into a $3.6 M nonprofit, Cooperative for Education (CoEd), which has benefited more than 160,000

Guatemalan students.

Eventually, CoEd’s Textbook Project caught the attention of Rotary Clubs, and a new partnership was built – the Guatemala Literacy

Project (GLP). Supporting education is one of Rotary’s six areas of focus. Since the GLP’s inception in 1997, 505 Rotary Clubs and

69 districts have financially supported the GLP. In addition, 275 Rotarians have traveled to Guatemala to serve in GLP projects.

Rick’s enthusiasm for the GLP is contagious. He is a partner at the Fairfax Racquet and Tennis club in the city of Fairfax; but when

he does have spare time, he, along with other Rotarians from several different clubs, often plans a trip to see the students he has

helped. When he returns from a trip to Guatemala, he is so filled with pride for the levels in education that the children have been

able to achieve through the book program and additional donations.

As Rick explains the program, Rotary dollars go to purchase a set of four textbooks for each student in a school. In order to make

the program sustainable, each student pays a little over a dollar a month to rent the books. At the end of five years, enough rental

fees have been collected to purchase a whole new set of books. The local Ministry hires the teachers and compensates them.

According to Rick, education in Guatemala is free until the sixth grade. His focus has been to try to raise enough money for some of

the brightest students to attend school beyond the sixth grade. In Guatemala, it takes 12 years of education to break the cycle of

poverty; and the scholarships CoEd and the GLP provide

virtually guarantee that students will lead lives out of poverty.

Rick will often tell the Fairfax Club about the students who

now work and have a future, as a result of the GLP and

CoEd. Of the many international service projects, the results

of the ingenious book rental program, the efforts of the GLP

and the generous donations from an impressive number of

Rotary clubs, have made a difference in the homes of Guate-

malan families by breaking the cycle of poverty.

The Rotary Club of Fairfax Celebrating Literacy in Guatemala

Here is how one motivated Guatemalan student changed her and her family’s

life forever:

Ancelma Ortiz is an extraordinary young woman. She started out like many young

children in Guatemala. She labored alongside her father in the fields and sold the

family produce to help provide for her family.

At the same time, she was very interested in going to school. She pleaded with her

mother to attend classes. Her insistence eventually paid off, and she attended prima-

ry school. “I wanted to be a scientist or maybe a teacher,” she said. However, she

knew that her parents could not afford to send her to school beyond the sixth grade.

She eventually received a scholarship for the additional levels of education through CoEd and the GLP. Her father was skeptical

and told her that most girls in their town did not finish school.

Frustrated by the lack of family support, Ancelma focused on excelling in class. She was motivated to succeed because she did

not want to disappoint her family or her sponsors.

Ancelma took advantage of the GLP textbook and computer programs. She absorbed as much knowledge as possible. Like many

of the students in the textbook program, Ancelma said the textbooks were a significantly positive impact on her life. They inspired

her to stay in school.

Ancelma has turned into an extraordinary exception in Guatemala. At age 22, she obtained the highly sought after position of cus-

tomer service representative at a call center. She is fluent in English and now supports her family financially. She inspires her

younger siblings every day, who are determined to grow up like their big sister.

After hearing this story about Ancelma, several members of the Fairfax club volunteered to sponsor students in Guatemala who

are motivated to complete the higher grades of education. Rotarian Rick Schroeder and Ann Dempsey of CoEd encourage Rotar-

ians to consider traveling to Guatemala on one of the many tours (especially the GLP tour which is only open to Rotarians and their

families) or to sponsor a student like Ancelma through the Scholarship and Youth Development Program.

For more information about the program, please visit the GLP website at: http://guatemalaliteracy.org/ To sponsor a child, go to

www.cooperativeforeducation.org/helpkids.

Are you or members of your club attending the RI convention in Atlanta in June? Please note that the Rotary Foundation

will be recognizing outstanding global grants closed in the 2015-16 Rotary year, and one of them is a GLP global grant!

The grant, hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Guatemala Vista Hermosa and Summit County, Colorado, brought literacy and

training to over 6,000 children and teachers in Guatemala. It is being recognized for its community impact, sustainability,

Rotarian involvement, and replicability.

Meet Assistant Scholarship Chair, Engie Mokhtar, of the Rotary Club of Alexandria West

Volunteer and Rotary History

Engie Mokhtar has a long history of love and caring for her fellow citizens. She has been an

avid volunteer all her life. Engie became interested in Rotary International early on from

neighbors and her mother Nadia Mokhtar, the current president of the Alexandria West Ro-

tary Club (AWRC). It is her mother who encouraged her to join the AWRC in 2015. The

club Board of Directors has nominated Engie President Elect for 2017-2018.

An Energetic Rotary Contributor

Engie’s enthusiasm for Rotary is evident. As Membership Chair at AWRC, she has initiated

nine new Rotarians since taking over the post in July 2016.

She has also worked closely with the Communications Chair, leads the club’s technology

education sessions, and provides content and updates for the AWRC website.

Engie formed the club’s first Strategic Planning Committee and submitted a draft to the

AWRC Board for its first three-year strategic plan.

Engie wrote and submitted AWRC’s first District Grant Application and the club subsequent-

ly received an award. And as a result of her work with the District Foundation Scholarship

program, AWRC will be sponsoring its first Global Scholar in 2017.

Commitment to the Community

Engie initiated AWRC support for local community programs such as Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically (ALIVE!),

Stop Hunger Now, and Support the Troops. She has been active in AWRC’s signature programs such as Adopt-a-

Family, AWRC’s annual 5K Race, Adopt-a-Park and Samuel W. Tucker School’s third grade dictionary project and

fourth grade book awards. She is involved locally in helping Syrian refugees find essential items.

Rotary Education

In her quest for a greater understanding of Rotary’s mission, Engie completed the District Membership Training and Rotary

Leadership Institute Levels l and II. She attended the 2015 District 7610 Conference and 2016 Rotary UN Day.

Engie came back energized from these events and put that energy toward events like AWRC’s first “Fireside Chat”.

Professional Life

A graduate of West Chester University in Pennsylvania with degrees in political science and French, Engie has 20 years

experience as a business manager, implementing training programs. Engie’s primary focus has been in information technol-

ogy and business analysis.

A seasoned public speaker, she has taught and discussed business processes, security and technical systems administra-

tion in both English and French. Her specialty is cross-departmental and cross-organizational project management.

After having worked in the private sector, Engie joined the federal government in the Department of Homeland Security

(DHS) at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in 2008.

Personal Life

Engie is fluent in three languages, French, English, and Egyp-

tian Arabic. She has traveled extensively in the U.S., Canada,

Europe, South America, Middle East, and Asia.

As a breast cancer ”warrior”, Engie is a strong advocate for met-

astatic cancer research. For two years her swim team started

Swim4Engie, a fundraiser for metastatic breast cancer research.

In her free time, Engie enjoys distance swimming, dog train-

ing, SCUBA diving and Latin dancing

The Paul Harris Society Celebrates its Growth! New members are added to the growing Paul Harris Society in District 7610

By Ralph Menzel, Paul Harris Society Chair

For many of us around the world, this is the time of

year when we think about new beginnings. We re-

flect and take stock of the last 365 days, and we plan

for the next 365. We make resolutions, plans, and

promises and recommit ourselves to the things that

we know are good for us! January, in the Rotary

world, is also a time of new beginnings and transition.

January, is also our halfway point through the Rotary

year, and it is a great time for clubs and individual members to take stock and see how they are do-

ing in progressing toward goals – especially Foundation goals, increasing PHS membership, and

especially coordinating and executing events and activities for the 100 year Anniversary celebration

of The Rotary Foundation. I want to encourage everyone to stop for a moment, reflect on your pro-

gress to date and then make a New Year’s Rotary Resolution to meet your goals. We have six

months left in this Rotary year, plenty of time to make a difference!

Remember that the Paul Harris Society promotes generous giving! It recognizes Rotary members

and friends of The Rotary Foundation who pledge to give US$1,000 or more each year to the An-

nual Fund, PolioPlus, or approved Global Grants. The purpose of the Paul Harris Society is to hon-

or and thank individuals for the generosity of their annual support to The Rotary Foundation — and

to encourage them to continue giving at this level.

District 7610 welcomes two new members into the Paul Harris Society: Bruce Jennings of the Fair-

fax club, and Shobha Bora of the Vienna club. Presentation dates for both are being coordinated

with their respective clubs.

A PHS brochure for YOU to SHARE is available on the PHS webpage on D7610 website and on page 9 of this newsletter. Please

complete a commitment form and send it directly to The Rotary Foundation, 14280 Collections Center Drive, Chicago, IL 60693, and

contact PHS Chair, Ralph Menzel at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank YOU for caring and inspir-

ing others!

Centennial Corner An update to celebrations during the Centennial Year

.

By ARRFC Chuck Davidson

Did you know that 154 District 7610 Rotarians and guests have already registered

and paid to help celebrate the Centennial of The Rotary Foundation by attending

the 2017 Rotary International Convention in

Atlanta on June 10-14? The Atlanta conven-

tion is built almost entirely around the Founda-

tion Centennial theme. There are many ways

to celebrate the Foundation’s 100th anniver-

sary, and this is one of the most attractive

ones.

Not only that, did you know that 63 of those

registrants have already indicated their desire

to travel to the Atlanta convention on the special AMTRAK railroad cars reserved

for Rotarians on AMTRAK’s famed Crescent route, as arranged by our district?

Boarding at Manassas on Friday evening, June 9, District 7610 Rotarians and

their guests will arrive refreshed in Atlanta the following morning, most having

spent an enjoyable evening in one of the Rotary

sleeping cars attached to the train. Rotarians

will board the Crescent in Atlanta on Wednes-

day evening, June 14, for their return trip. Local

Rotarians who enjoyed a similar AMTRAK ride

to the New Orleans RI Convention back in 2011

have fond memories of the Rotary fellowship

that occurred that year on board.

This particular convention in Atlanta is ideal for first-time convention attendees be-

cause there will not be one closer to us for many years. If you haven’t already

registered to attend the convention, please do so by going on-line to

www.riconvention.org soon. Registration fees will increase after March 31. And

then, if you want to ride along on AMTRAK to get there, contact PDG Jon Allan by

e-mail at [email protected] right away. He’ll get you squared away.
