Tacoma
Sunrise Rotary is commencing a multi-year Rotary Global Grant project in
eastern rural Uganda in partnership with the Rotary Club of Kiwatule in
Kampala, the capital city. The Global Grant will provide training and equipment
to support the women in the farming program. Our Cooperating Organization is
COFIA (Circle of Friends in Action). Their broader project with COFIA—now in its 5th year—has grown to 105 farmers with 73
acres of peanuts under cultivation… and plans for expansion. We recently held
our third annual farming exposition with over 800 rural farmers in attendance
over 3 days on the COFIA Demonstration Farm (COFIAUganda.org).
Michael McGavock & Carolyn
Othieno will be visiting Americus for the annual Georgia Peanut Tour,
September 17-19. One of the Ugandan researchers Dr. David Kalule and another
colleague from COFIA Joseph Ochieng are trying to get visas to make the trip
and join them. Carolyn
grew up in Uganda, but now resides near Michael in Washington State. Carolyn is the
founder of COFIA (Circle of Friends in Action) and Michael is on the board. We look forward to hearing about their Global Grant.
Join us at Gate City Brewing in Roswell for the re-launch of Freedom Fighter IPA. $1.00 from every beer sold will go to support the non-profits helping victims of human trafficking.
