Zones 27 & 28 International Projects in Nigeria A team of 20 Rotarians in Zones 27 and 28 kicked off an initiative in November 2007 that will Share Rotary and Make Dreams Real in the developing nation of Nigeria. Developed by both Director Mike Johns and Director-Elect Tom Thorfinnson and led by Tom, the Rotarians attended the West Africa Project Fair, met with Rotary leaders, and visited project sites in Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and Lagos. Team members also participated in polio Sub-National Immunization Days. The team’s connections with credible and trustworthy Nigerian Rotarians resulted in a menu of worthwhile Rotary Foundation World Community Service Matching Grants projects that districts and clubs are encouraged to support – providing toilets for school children who have none, digging boreholes (wells) to provide safe water for settlements of up to 100,000, equipping hospitals, orphanages, schools, and many more. It is our hope that these projects will lead to a larger, more encompassing project in Nigeria that will address many of the basic human needs to help the Nigerians towards economic self sufficiency. The team is the first of many that will Lead the Way in providing Service Above Self as Rotarians Lend A Hand and Sow the Seeds of Love in a region of the world where Rotary is making a difference in the lives of people daily.
