Soya Project News from Colombia


The Rotary Club of Duitama Boyaca Colombia has advised us they have now received the matching funds from The Rotary Foundation for the Soya Equipment Project for four communities.

The Rotary Club of Duitama Colombia has contracted a consultant to help them in learning how to multiply small businesses; they have had some TV coverage of the project; they are active in the communities orienting the people; the four communities are cleaning the 4 processing plant locations, and they have ordered the equipment and this equipment firm is preparing the training in equipment use.

The Duitama Boyaca Club will work with another Rotary club in Bogota Colombia where the educating and monitoring nutritionists are members and are in the stage of timetabling their involvement.

The club President Francisco Berrio Zafra and The Executive Director of the Club Foundation state in their letter to you:

"We would like to express through The Rotary Club of Festival City (Stratford) our most sincere appreciation for all your help in order to make a reality this very breathtaking program benefiting the people with nutritional deficiency in our region.

The development of this project has given us the opportunity to establish a permanent communication with you, that we value as an opening from our club to people of a generous heart and commitment to the world community.

We will remember with gratitude this opportunity that you have given to our Rotary Club and we will be in permanent contact with you in order that you will be informed about the unfolding of the project.

Please receive on behalf of those benefiting from this project a committed, Cordial and Rotarian embrace. Thank you for making this nutritional supplement possible for over 300 people in each community and the development of four ongoing soy processing plants, one in each community."


As well, by doing it this way, each donor club Stratford Rotary Club, Goderich Rotary Club and Duitama Rotary Club will be credited with Paul Harris credits for their contribution.
