Farzana Dhanji was our speaker March 19. Farzana lives locally and is a member of a club in Kenya. Her specialty is water projects and she discussed what it is like to work with Global grants and how her small club of 13 members is able to achieve a lot. Also we had our family from Afghanistan and a couple of community members who support them in attendance. Terry Peel is pictured with Syed and his sister who are now safely in Canada. Jan Rostkowski presented a banner from his original home club of Breman-Roland, Germany!
