Our Clean Water Projects
The 2008-2009 Rotary International President, D.K. Lee, has challenged Rotarians to "Make Dreams Real" this year. He is urging us to become involved in clean water, literacy, and health and hunger projects aimed at reducing child mortality.
The Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club is currently working on two clean water projects:
Clean Water for Appalachia
The Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club has committed financial and volunteer support to a Living Waters of the World project coordinated by ADFAC (Aid to Distressed Families for Appalachian Counties). The effort provides water treatment systems for residents in a region of Appalachia that is suffering from water contamination resulting from coal mining operations.
Here is a photo from a recent installation of a water treatment system; Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotarian Sherry Livengood is on the left.
Clean Water / HAITI
The Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club is working toward organizing a project with Clean Waters for Haiti. The technology is much, much simpler than the systems being installed in the U.S. The picture below comes from the CWH web site and shows the concrete, gravel, and sand type of project that we are planning.
