Worldwide Humanitarian Projects

Honesdale Rotary began supporting a project that included opening a Himalayan Institute community center in the city of Kumbo, Cameroon, Africa. “Working with the Himalayan Institute has been beneficial because they already have a recipe for success and a proven track record from more than 35 years of Humanitarian projects,” said PE Brian Fulp, “The biggest benefit is that we have Honesdale Rotarians on the ground and we can see the full benefit of where the funds are used and the benefits of those who receive it.”

At a presentation by the Himalayan Institute on November 30, Honesdale Rotary agreed to support a campaign to raise funds for the Institute’s Global Humanitarian Project in Cameroon, West Africa—the Kumbo Public Library Project. Honesdale Rotarians are calling on clubs from around their district and the world to join hands with them to collect funds to establish the first public library in Kumbo serving a population of 50,000. In association with the Himalayan Institute and the Kumbo City Council, the library is targeted for completion by summer 2008.

John Van Horn, Treasurer of Honesdale Rotary says, “With the success of phase one of this project, it makes sense that we move forward with phase II and support the library campaign. Working with the Himalayan Institute, whose track record for successful humanitarian efforts has spanned more than 35 years, we can quickly see the benefits of Rotarian funds in action. Honesdale Rotary was instrumental in sponsoring the creation of the first Rotary Club of Kumbo, Cameroon. Honesdale Rotarians, Kumbo Rotarians and the Himalayan Institute are working side-by-side on this worthwhile endeavor.”
