1 8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 13,1989 Rotary Project Brings Water to India Before the Rotary Club Luncheon on Thursday, a special table was set up showing Indian artifacts to inform inform members and guests of the club's involvement in , a unique project. The display had been arranged by ■ the Jeedipally (India) Water Project Committee, 1-r, Dr. Joe Pinto, Mrs. John Manuel, and her husband who made the trip to India concerning the project, Mrs. Mohinder Angl, Dr. Angl, and Jack Locke. The' meeting's entire program involved speeches and slides connected with the water project. Even in this era of transcontinental transcontinental travel and instantaneous instantaneous communication, Jeedipally, India, is a long ' way from Bowmanville. Far from our consciousness, 2,000 villagers have toiled for years amidst abject poverty, poverty, struggling at times simply to secure enough clean water to survive. The current system of small, individual wells leaves the village exposed to the whims of nature: unpre- dictible rainfall and the dread of contamination and disease. There is clean water water in Jeedipally, but it remains remains tantalizingly out of sight and out of reach. It is buried deep beneath the earth's hardened crust, where no amount of digging by hand can reach it. In late July, however, drilling equipment rolled into the village. Skilled workers arrived from neighbouring neighbouring Hyderabad and began began to drill deep down to the clean and plentiful water. As the big drill first bit into the ground, the work of several several Bowmanville Rotarians finally had begun to bear fruit. A few weeks before drilling drilling began, Rotarian John Manuel was in Jeedipally DURHAM.

Commissioner of Planning helping to smooth out the inevitable inevitable wrinkles in a project project which involves two Rotary Rotary clubs, Rotary International, and the Canadian Canadian government. "We tried to emphasize people doing it for themselves. We didn't just walk in and fix their problem. It's their project." "The response from the Hindu priest, the Sarjranch (village leader), the chief of police, and other community leaders was excellent. They are all oh the team." In 1987, Mr. Manuel, Jack Locke, and Joe Pinto initiated the project. Consulting Consulting a list of project possibilities possibilities which Rotary International International keeps and continually updates, the three Bowmanville club Bricks for Knox Raises *110,000 The success of the "Bricks for Knox" fund raising campaign campaign can be attributed to volunteers in the Town of Newcastle. Bill Helmus, principal at Knox Christian School, said thanks to the efforts of people people in the community, $110,000 for the renovation project at the school has been raised since the campaign campaign started in June. Volunteers were also responsible responsible for the labor portion portion of the construction project project this summer. New windows, brick facing, facing, entrances and furnaces were part of renovations that were completed prior to the beginning of school last week. The only part of the job not yet finished is the main entrance but, Mr. Helmus said, the front door should be in placé sometime this month. The principal said of the project: "It went well. There was more work than anticipated." anticipated." The fundraising campaign campaign has raised enough money to cover the cost of the project, Mr. Helmus said, adding that they had planned to raise the funds ($135,000) over a one-and-a- half year period. Knox Christian School is entering its 33rd year of operation. operation. In 1986, when Mr. Helmus came to the school, 125 students were enrolled. This year that number has grown to 222., ■ , JDASHWOOD All-You-Ftiv-Days m Installed Classic l Swing Doors* ' 5 ft. model Includes Installation*," hardware and sales tax..

"We were matched with an Indian Rotary club," Mr. Manuel explained. Together with the Rotary Club of Hyderabad Hyderabad North, the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club began the lengthy process of organizing organizing the project. While in India he stayed for much of his time with fellow Rotarians Rotarians in the city about 50 kilometres kilometres from Jeedipally. "Most of the Rotarians spoke English, but there was very little English in the village itself," he noted. Sometime next year when the project is completed completed the new centre of the village village will be the 100,000 litre water tank which will rest on a hill bank. Gravity will propel the water through 30 separate taps from which villagers will receive their drinking water. The huge tank will be fed by two sub-. mersible pumps drawing water from the two drilled wells. In addition, the project will include 40 toilets with proper disposal treatment facilities which will improve the sanitation of the village immeasurably. Rotary International, works with the Canadian International International Development Agency (CIDA) on a liaison committee which the federal government uses to determine determine how and where to spend some of the foreign aid it dispenses each year. The committee reviews ap- * plications from Rotary clubs for funds. The government saves money by allowing Rotarians Rotarians to organize given projects and administer the funds. The work of installing wells, pipes, and pumps might well run into the hundreds hundreds of thousands of dollars here in Canada. In India, where few earn more than $10,000 per year, the creation creation of a water system for Jeedipally will cost just under under $52,000. Of that total the CIDA is supplying $36,000. The Bowmanville and Hyderabad North Rotary Rotary clubs each are contributing contributing $4,000. Rotary International International is funding the remainder. Mr. Locke was impressed with how quickly the federal government reacted and pro cessed the club's application for funds. Although the Indian government government is not involved with the water project, Mr. Manuel Manuel believes that the government government will be encouraged by this initial project and will institute otner needed projects for the village in the coming years. "The government government is not sitting on its hands," he concluded from his visit, adding that the Hyderabad Hyderabad North club is considering considering a literacy project as a natural follow-up to the clean water installation. Arriving as he did during the 25th anniversary celebrations celebrations of the local club, Mr. Manuel found himself in the midst of a merry celebration. celebration. "This is their silver jubilee jubilee project.'! was the keynote keynote speaker at their anniversary anniversary meeting which was all about the project." His time in India provided provided him with "a unique opportunity opportunity to get a sense of what goes on there. There is some good and some bad, and there's no hiding the poverty." Mr. Manuel admitted admitted to being surprised at the size of the middle class in the country. He was impressed impressed by the determination determination of the people he saw or met. "Even the very poor were industrious," he recalled. recalled. The capacity of the people to work hard suggests a bright future for the country, country, he feels. "The programs to overcome poverty and illiteracy illiteracy are going to work. The people will make them work." Projects such as the Rotary water initiative will serve as catalysts for change in a society ready to move ahead. Travelling to India was an adventure on its own. Mr. Manuel boarded an Air Canada jet in Toronto and (lew to New York. There he boarded a Kuwait Airlines plane and flew to London. The next stop was Kuwait where he changed planes and proceeded to Bombay. After sleeping off the effects of 18 hours in the air and the nine-and-a-half hour time difference, he flew from Bombay to Hyderabad-a mere one hour jaunt for the newly seasoned world traveller. traveller. Tack on three days of sightseeing on either end of his official business, and he was gone nearly three weeks. "I was thoroughly impressed by the people and their sincere commitment to the family and their religion; religion; It's a'fttscinating country country from which much can be learned." The recent recipient of a Paul Harris Fellowship (the highest award in Rotary) is anxious to tell the people of this community ("those who always support our club when we raise money") about where $^,000 of that money is going.' Mr. Manuel saw firsthand firsthand what a difference a well can make to a community community when he visited Raila- pur, some 25 kilometres from Jeedipally. Railapur had a central well ana sanitation system installed in 1980. Since that time the impact it produced on the town is visible in more substantial housing, the arrival of small industry and the initiative it has given given the people to better their station in life. Mr. Manuel envisions a similar situation evolving in Jeedipally when the project is completed. "I found the people to be industrious, clean and basically basically honest as any people I have met," says Manuel, who is as enthusiastic as the residents of Jeedipally about the project." Rotary International and the Canadian Government Government have made a move to draw people together in what is soon to be a global village.
