Rotary Recycling Project in Antigua Gets US$77K Funding from Japan

The Rotary Club of Antigua Sundown was recently successful in receiving a grant from the government of Japan under their Grassroots Human Assistance funding program to expand our waste recycling facility. The Signing Ceremony took place Thursday, February 9^th, 2012 with officials of the Embassy of Japan and the government of Antigua and Barbuda in attendance. I am attaching a newspaper article covering the event and pictures for your information. I hope this can be put on the district website and/or newsletter. It is notable that this is the first such grant received by an NGO in Antigua from the government of Japan, and once again shows the potential for clubs in our district to access international donor funds for our community service projects.
