Dear Rotary Leaders:
 
            Rotary International President-elect Dong Kurn Lee recently said he was in disbelief when he learned that 30,000 children under the age of five die every day from preventable diseases such as pneumonia, diarrhea, measles, and malaria.
 
Recently, at the International Assembly he told the incoming 2008-09 district governors that Rotary will keep the service emphases of recent years -- water, health and hunger, and literacy -- but Lee asked the DGs to focus their efforts - in those areas - on children.
 
The March 15th Our Foundation focuses on “Children and Hunger” and a program called REACH (Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger).  Please see pages 1 to7.
 
In addition, you will find interesting articles on:
