Title: FAST


1
FAST FOR HOPE
2
What is Fast for Hope?
  • Fast for Hope is a fundraising effort that
    supports both our local communities and the world
    at large.
  • During Rotarys anniversary week, the week
    surrounding February 23rd, is the time when most
    District 5950 Clubs participate in Fast for Hope.

3
When did Fast for Hope originate?
  • In 1986, District 5950 initiated the Fast for
    Hope program to fund World Community Service
    (WCS) projects. It has been expanded to include
    Neighborhood Community Services. Funds are split
    roughly 50-50 between the two
  • This program allows our District to respond to
    humanitarian needs around the world by providing
    funding for clean water, supplies, medical care,
    relief support and food.

4
How does it work?
  • When we Fast for Hope, Rotarians designate one
    weekly meeting meal and then abstain or eat
    sparingly.
  • The money saved is assigned to a greater good.
  • Some Clubs simply build this donation into their
    annual budgets.

5
TODAY
  • Fast for Hope contributions are divided equally
    between World Community Service projects and
    Neighborhood Community Service projects.

6
It does make a difference
  • These monies help provide the basic daily needs
    for those less fortunate than ourselves - plus
    aid the progress toward self sufficiency.
  • Our goal for 2008-09 is 15 per member, minimum
    10 - with 100 participation from the District
    5950 Clubs.

7
Special requests andemergency relief
  • Fast for Hope dollars allocated to WCS and NCS
    have typically been used for special requests and
    emergency relief that do not fall within the
    guidelines of the traditional Matching Grant
    Programs offered through the Rotary International
    Foundation.

8
Fast for Hope A Special Request
  • In 1993, 4000 was sent to the Leon, Nicaragua,
    Rotary Club. They hired a manufacturer to make
    300 desks and 300 chairs for the local elementary
    school.
  • Prior to this project, the children were sitting
    on the ground and practicing their writing in the
    dirt!

9
Children of the Andes School
  • In recent years, World Community Service made a
    matching contribution to Minneapolis 9, Hopkins,
    and Minnetonka Clubs for the support of the
    Children of the Andes School program in Quito,
    Ecuador.

10
Project Nino De Los Andes Quito, Ecuador
  • The money purchased food for the pre-school
    children of very poor working families.
  • The children arrive at the school in a bus
    provided by Minneapolis 9, Hopkins and
    Minnetonka Clubs and wear Rotary sweatshirts.

11
Visioning Trip to Haiti
In Haiti, 17-23 of the children die before the
age of five. Over the next three years, this
Rotary project will yield 141 wells, 1200
latrines, plus health and sanitation education.
12
Fast for Hope Disaster Relief
  • In recent years, World Community Service
    committed 6000 of matching funds for disaster
    relief in Columbo, Sri Lanka and Rapalle, India.

13
Fast for Hope Disaster Relief
  • The funds were combined with other gifts to
    enable Feed My Starving Children to ship
    several containers of meal packets to these
    devastated areas. Thats about 570,000 meals.
