Meeting the Needs of the Orphanage
49
Assessing the Orphanages Needs

• We came with a project budget of 1000 for
  in-country purchases
• Dr. Jong asked us not to buy expendables rather
  purchase non-expendables
• Zhou Huayun asked us not to buy food, rather
  listed 3 priorities
• Televisions
• Refrigerators
• Replace the Orphanage plastic flooring

50
Need 1 Televisions

• The Children spend most of their lives in their
  small Room
• Limited toys are available and limited stimulus
  possible
• They had never seen a cartoon before and we
  were able to help them enjoy their first.

We purchased 4 televisions, antennae and
electrical equipment
51
Need 2 Refrigerators

• The Orphanage has very limited resources
• It can not afford to waste any baby formula or
  medicines,
• but has no foreign currency to purchase
  refrigerators

We delivered 2 refrigerators at a good price
and good quality
52
Need 3 Replace Flooring

• No Shoes are allowed in the orphanage
• Children walk around in socks or bare feet
• The flooring throughout is very old and patched
  up and difficult to maintain
• New flooring is available in hard currency shops

We did not have sufficient funds available to
meet this need
53
What Next?

• Monitor performance of the Sun Oven
• Report to donors
• International Committee to recommend to RC
  Shanghai follow up actions
• With the Orphanage (ie fix the flooring)
• With Dr. Jong (more liaison between Rotary
  DPRK)
• With Dr. Urbani (advice assistance with other
  RC projects)
• The Door is now open for Rotarians around the
  world to build on this foundation
• By directly contacting Dr. Jong supporting
  projects
• By proposing new projects, from new clubs,
  districts
