Last week, Rob Hail met with the Madania organization in Jogyakarta. The organization takes care of about a hundred orphanded and poor children and has a baby nursery and a facility on the edge of town for their older teens and young adults who are disabled from either polio, losing a limb, auto accident, etc. This handicapped group tries to earn money by selling water they purify and clothes they sew. They would also like to add baked goods to their product line as many of them know how to bake but they don't have a proper oven, mixer and basic supplies.
Rob asked for their wish list and they replied an oven and baking tools and supplies. Thanks to generous Sunrisers, Rob used most of the $202 in "aloha dollars" on purchasing a good blender, diapers, soap and milk formula for the nursery. The orphanage has about 14 babies, the youngest is 11 days old.
While in Jogya, Rob also met with the Jogya Rotary twice regarding a potential partnership.
Says Rob, “Spending time with other Rotarians here makes me appreciate more what a wonderful worldwide organization we belong to. It has also been a pleasure helping to set up our new foster parent program here and welcoming our new orphanage into our eGlobal Family".
