Inherit Your Rights Update
A few years ago, we heard about this project - Inherit Your Rights. It was all about engaging Tanzanian women to ensure they knew their rights of inheritance following death or divorce of a partner. The program (supported in part with a D5040 District Grant) was highly successful.
The local Rotary club (RC of Arusha) is involved in this latest program which was targeted at women  but more importantly was expanded to educate men and children in the wider aspects of Gender Equality. 
Our club is rightly proud to have been instrumental in changing attitudes in this Tanzanian community!

Binners Project Update
Richmond Sunrise Rotary has been supporting the Binners' Project which operates in Vancouver's Downtown East Side.  We are happy to report that funding has been approved.

Our successful and generous efforts in fundraising and donations, including to Rotary Foundation, Polio Plus and Shelter Box, were acknowledged by District Governor Lorne Calder this week.  Thank you, Lorne, for that recognition and for inspiring us to continue to do important Rotary work.  
Merry Christmas!
