Money
raised from our Wishing Well supports our projects locally and
overseas. Currently we are supporting:
Kids
Out, Shelter
Box and Polio
Eradication
Kids Out
- the
Rotary Clubs in the East Midlands take over a thousand disadvanted
children to
Wicksteed Park for a day, providing them a day of fun, enjoyment and
friendship that many will not experience in normal life. See

Shelter
Box - Rotary's
Shelter Box charity sent 10,000 boxes of life's essentials to Haiti
following the recent earthquake disaster. The boxes include a
tent for a
family of 10, warm blankets, cooking equipment, basic tools,
and
even a few toys for the children. See

Polio
Eradication - since
1985 Rotary has being working with WHO and other organisations to
eradicate polio from the world. Since then the number of
cases
has reduced from 1,000 per day to 1,000 per year. The disease
is
now endemic in only 4 countries - northern India, Pakistan, Afghanistan
and Nigeria. We will live up to Rotary's promise to free the
children of the world from the threat of polio. See
