This Friday, our speaker will be Isaac McNary, Program Director with The Outreach Program.
The Outreach Program is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide water, food, medicine, and education to those most in need at home and abroad. In the USA we offer service projects in the form of our Meal Packaging Events, a fun and impactful way to give back to those in your own community that need help. Internationally, in Tanzania East Africa, we have programs that provide food, education, medical care, and clean water to the people and children of rural Tanzania. My job with The Outreach Program is to design, build, and install water purifications systems. Our primary focus right now is to get our Waterpoint Systems into the Primary Schools of the Mkalama district of the Singida Region. We currently have systems in 8 schools with a goal of putting systems into 85 more! We work with Rotary clubs to help sponsor these systems. When a club helps to sponsor the system they get a plaque with the club's name on it on the system, and regular updates on the system, the kids who are impacted, and the community it serves.
The Shawnee Mission Northwest Interact Club is having a service project at an orchard with Jorge Coromac and Woodland Charities on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22nd. (see below) All Rotarians are welcome!

During World Immunization Week, 24-30 April, join Rotarians around the World in advocating for polio eradication and the importance of vaccines. As one of the greatest advances of modern medicine, vaccines are safe, effective, and save millions of lives each year. Our progress in the fight to end polio is proof that vaccines work. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative estimates that the polio vaccine has saved more than 20 million children around the world from paralysis. However, approximately 12.5 million children are totally unvaccinated. They are known as Zero-Dose Children and vaccinating them is critical to stopping polio for good.
We need to continue vaccinating the world’s children against polio, because polio anywhere is a threat everywhere.
We will be selling drinks - beer, wine, soda, water. The Rotary Club of Western Johnson County will also be manning the booth with us. There are 3-hour shifts and we need 4 people per shift. See sign-up sheet below and see Phil Hammondto sign-up.
