The relationship between Rotary District 5340 in San Diego and Imperial Counties in the United States, and Rotary District 9270 in Kwazulunatal, South Africa has nurtured over the past 4 years. This relationship began with the AIDS Orphan Relief Project which created many grants to help the people, and, specifically the children of Kwazulunatal. When Rotary International introduced the Future Visions Pilot Program this year, it became a natural consequence to create a Global Grant between our 2 Districts. After much consideration, it was decided to focus that grant on helping to improve pediatric care within Kwazulunatal. A Vocational Training Team was sought which involved some truly dedicated and remarkable people. You can read more about the team under the heading of "Thokomala Nathi" on the home page. You can learn more about the project under the heading "Masisukume Sakhe" on the home page. This project has been developed over the past year and we are all excited to be finally beginning our trip on Feb. 2. We welcome you to share our experiences and accomplishments on this blog site.

About the Project
Pediatric Health Care in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa
The Rotary District 5340 is undertaking a big humanitarian project in South Africa. During February 2011, the team will spend 3-4 weeks working with the pediatric and affiliated health professionals in Pietermartizburg and its environs. The VTT will familiarize themselves with the circumstances, parameters, strengths and limitations of child health care in Pietermartizburg and its environs and will function/support/educate accordingly.
We will be leaving San Diego on Wednesday, February 2, 2011 and returning on Thursday, March 3, 2011.
