Afghanistan School Project, Article In District Newsletter

Dear Partners in our

Afghanistan school project;

The project is complete.

What started as a $3,000 District Grant by the Rotary Club of Humble

Intercontinental grew into a $10,450 plus project thanks to cash contributions

from eight more clubs - Houston, Houston Heights, West U, North Shore,

Willowbrook, Baytown, Bear Creek Copperfield and Brazosport.

The Power Point presentation that I received today from Nicole Heydari

is available and is an excellent summary of the accomplishments.

Nicole will be completing her term with the International Security

Assistance Forces of NATO in Kabul in early December to resume her Master’s

Degree program in Vienna which is partially funded by the Rotary Clubs of Houston

and Humble Intercontinental.

I draw your attention to the plaque in the first page of the Power Point

which reads “these classrooms were built in October 2012 for the children of

Cheheltan Middle School in support of education in Afghanistan by the following

Texas Rotary Clubs (United States of America)”. The plaque has been placed on

the exterior wall of one of the classrooms.

Nicole did an outstanding job of identifying this need and overseeing

the project to completion. Let’s also thank Felipe La Rotta of the Humble club

who collected and shipped to Nicole six boxes of school supplies.

Thank you all nine clubs for your support.

You might want to email Nicole and congratulate her and thank her

for this wonderful project.
